சமுக நீதி பேசும் கட்சியில் தொகுதி பங்கிட்டு குழுவில் தலித்துக்கு இடமில்லை . சமூகநீதி இவர்கள் அதிகாரம் பெருவதுற்கு மட்டும்தான் தலித்துகளுக்கு அதிகாரம் கொடுபதிற்க்கு இல்லை .சாதிய பத்திரிக்கைகள் எந்த ஒரு குழு அமைத்தாலும் அதில் தொடர்ந்து தலித்துகளை மட்டும் பிரித்து காட்டி வருவதே வழக்கமாகி விட்டது.
In a belated move, the DMK has decided to include in its election committee Union ministers MK Alagiri and Dayanidhi Maran. The other members of the committee, announced last week, include deputy chief minister MK Stalin and state ministers Arcot Veerasamy, Duraimurugan and K Ponmudi and Lok Sabha MP TR Baalu. It will hold talks with allies to finalise seat-sharing and clear bottlenecks to arrive at acceptable numbers for alliance partners. The DMK is likely to announce the new additions to the committee soon.
There was a demand from Alagiri’s supporters that he be included in the committee given his clout in the southern districts, said DMK sources. Maran too is likely to be included to help liaise with Congress leaders in Delhi, they added. Given the power dynamics within the DMK, the leadership has thought it prudent to include the Madurai strongman in the committee, said a DMK leader.
With Alagiri’s turf extending beyond Madurai, his followers feel that he should be included in the committee so that he would be able to argue better their case for tickets for the coming assembly elections. They have also been seeking a representative for southern districts in the election panel. With the induction of Maran as well, the various power centres in the DMK are likely to be represented in the committee.
The DMK is likely to find negotiating with the Congress and the VCK tough. The Congress, which is demanding at least 80 seats, could prove unrelenting. Then there is a potential ally, the PMK, waiting for the DMK to clinch a deal with the Congress. While the PMK is demanding 35 seats, the DMK has offered it 20, pointing out that the party had only won 18 seats in the 2006 assembly elections.
On Monday night, the Congress announced members for its election committee which includes influential factional leaders like Union home minister P Chidambaram, shipping minister G K Vasan and TNCC president K V Thangkabalu, Congress spokesperson Jayanthi Natarajan and party MLA and dalit leader Namakkal Jayaraman.
The Congress committee members have also been carefully handpicked keeping in mind the various groups they represent.
A notable absentee in the committee is former Union minister E V K S Elangovan. Considering his track record of being stridently critical of the DMK, the Congress would have thought it better to keep him out of the committee. The two committees are likely to meet soon and clear the hurdles in the number game.
