People of Tamil Nadu who know very well of Jayalalitha accusing MGR of envious of her and doing everything to finish her off from politics and public life; and MGR charging her as of a dangerous person using anybody for her purpose and regretting his mistake of promoting her in excess of her age and capacity, will now regret over the idea of Cho S.Ramaswamy of making her the Prime Minister, said DMK President Kalaignar M.Karunanidhi.
Replying to a question on Jayalalitha’s epistle to her party workers on the occasion of MGR birth anniversary, attacking him and hailing MGR, Kalaignar said it was MGR who drafted Jayalalitha into politics. In a letter she wrote to the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in her own handwriting, she had accused MGR on envying her influence and popularity which he could not digest and doing everything possible to finish her off from politics and public life;
And MGR, just before his death gave an interview to old ‘Makkal Kural’ on Jayalalitha, saying, ‘Nobody can be believed. Ammu’s (Jaya’s) audacity is intolerable. Thinking something I involved her in politics. Attempt to make Pillayar has ended as monkey. Now this Ammu, who has learnt intrigue, vow, deceit and conspiracy is trying to even finish me off! This Ammu is dangerous; she will use anybody for her purpose; she won’t hesitate to do anything. It is my mistake to have promoted her to a position in excess of her age and capacity.” People of TN who know both these, after reading Jayalalitha’s statement now will not but regret, ‘Alas! Are we having such a person as CM; and Sriman Cho says that he will make this person of all the people as PM.’
On Jayalalitha claiming that ‘the ADMK, which uprooted evil force called Karunanidhi, cannot be won by anybody’, Kalaignar said, “Not only Jayalalitha. Except nature this Karunanidhi cannot be felled by anybody.” Victory and defeat alternatively come in elections. ADMK faced huge defeats in Parliament elections when MGR was alive and on Assembly elections when she contested from Bargur. The Assembly elections in 1996 and 2006 had belied her assertion that ‘there is no other movement in this land to win against ADMK.’ “While reading Jaya’s challenge I am only reminded of the line in my poem, ‘whatever it be can a turkey be peacock? Or tail end be knife tip?’
The following is the explanation for her calling Kalaignar as ‘evil force.’ On page 130 of a ‘Ananda Vikatan’ photo album, they have generously published what Thanthai Periyar said about him. “Our Chief Minister Kalaignar is a great rationalist. In India except this state in other states are rules of believers. Only in our state a rationalist’s rule is on. By conducting himself as such rationalist and as a rare rationalist with forethought in the art of ruling, he became one providing new life to Tamils.”
In the same album on page 131, they have also published what Arignar Anna said about him, “In the DMK there are only those who know me fully. Karunanidhi has a very special place among those who totally know me.”
On page 133 of the album, they have published what MGR said about him, “Kalaignar and me have 20 years connection. Then I was at Coimbatore where we lived together. But he was a self-respect man and I as a Congress man, then I tried to win him over to my side. But what happened? I was attracted to his side. Today that attraction has resulted in he being the DMK President and I as Treasurer. It will be a big mistake if somebody thinks that Kalaignar has glory and reputation only because he is CM now. Even before all these positions came in search of him, Kalaignar was capable for fame and reputation.”
“Reading these views of these leaders Periyar, Anna and MGR, Tamil people will realize the truth. But hasn’t this lady without forgetting, referred to me as ‘evil force’ even during MGR birth anniversary? I think this reply is enough for her magnanimity (?) But one thing: In her statement hasn’t Jayalalitha pointed out that I am selfish as ‘my family, my wife, my offsprings?’ The reply for it is as follows:-
“Karunanidhi is one who strive as my country, my state and my race. This truth; I am not the ‘selfish person’ who destroyed a family, separated husband and wife without allowing them to run family itself. Giving even statement that ‘everything for me is the non-sibling associate; running family with her during all difficult periods and driving her out after prosperity dawns! Selfishness is only writing and speaking line byline - ‘Government headed by me’, ‘I have issued orders’, ‘my rule’ etc.!
This Karunanidhi is who endeavoured all through life for motherland Tamil Nadu, mother language Tamil and Tamils, made numerous sacrifices, got imprisoned and till date working for Tamil people and for safeguarding democracy! Even at this age I travelled 400 km by car to meet in person people affected by cyclone ‘Thane’ and console them and not returned after conducting a function in ten and a half minutes,” Kalaignar said.
Not new schemes: Kalaignar said recent announcements by Jayalalitha about various projects involving large allocations of funds were misleading as these were not new schemes, but only a repeat of what had been unveiled in the revised budget for 2011-12. Asked about the Chief Minister’s announcement on Jan.16 about the launch of a Rs. 6,654-crore Integrated Urban Development Mission and its decision to spend Rs. 757 crore this fiscal for work in urban localities, Kalaignar said the Finance Minister’s budget speech on August 4 last had mentioned in Para 111 that Rs. 750 crore had been provided for the urban development mission.
He said normally major schemes were unveiled in the budget and the relevant government orders would follow suit soon thereafter. “With just two months and a half left this fiscal, these orders pertaining to announcements made in the budget are coming out one by one only now,” he said. “These schemes cannot be implemented this fiscal in the remaining two and a half months,” he added.
Citing an example, he said the present regime had scrapped the DMK government’s scheme to replace three lakh huts with concrete houses every year, and sought to replace it with a scheme to build ‘green houses’. As many as 60,000 houses would be built this year, the government had claimed, but only seven houses had been built so far, he claimed.
