For more than 50 years now Tamilnadu has been
ruled by either one of the Dravidian parties, with the national parties
partnering along with them for their fortunes in the State Assembly.
26th September 2013, Trichy saw a
crowd of around 4 lakh citizen’s from across Tamilandu attending the ‘Ilam
Thamarai Manadu’ (Young Lotus Conference)
– a meeting organised by Tamilandu Bharatiya Yuva Morcha(BJYM). Of course the Hero of the show was Thiru. Narendra
Bhai Modi , whose presence made all the difference.
The people of Tamilandu have realised that
Dravidian movement and its parties have only been sharing power among
themselves for 50 yrs, but has not developed the state and its citizen.
The major change we felt sitting part of the
dedicated crowds was electrifying. They listened to Rajnath Singh ji speaking
in Hindi & though it was translated by H.Raja, there was not a murmur of
protest.
The final speaker being Narendra Bhai Modi,
there was pin drop silence when he spoke, First a few sentences in Tamil, when
the crowd roared , then in English, but then when he started addressing in
Hindi, there was pin drop silence, attentively listened, though they did not understand the language, seems
the understood the content. Again the whole speech was translated by
Shri.H.Raja, who did accomplishing the task.
When Narendra Bhai questioned them ‘Whether PM
Should enter into dialogue with Pakistan, when our Jawans were being killed by
Pakistani Soliders’, the crowd in unison chanted ‘NO’. And the climax was ‘Vande Mataram’ Chant, the reverberating
sound should have reached all the divisive interests.
This is the first time if I remember right ,
the people of Tamilnadu were addressed by a National leader in Hindi, even
Shri.Atal Bihari Vajpayee, had spoken in English.
Change is imminent in any society, Tamilnadu
having been under the spell of Dravidian movement for over 50 years, whose citizen’s had been forced ‘oppose’
Hindi to isolate them from Nationalist thinking , have now decided to be part
of their Proud Nation Bharat. Change is
visible to all, the need to galvanize these voices into votes and elected
members who will deliver for the citizen.
The coming months and the 2014 elections will
be very interesting in Tamilnadu. There
is huge undercurrent which is consolidating the Voter to the development plank
of Shri.Narendra Bhai Modi
Now the biggest question arises, Is the TN BJP leadership ready to be part of the change? Have they understood the aspirations of the people of Tamilnadu? Do they have a strong second, third rung of leadership and highly committed cadre to address this change? Or Will the State leaders in the party be satisfied to play second fiddle to the Dravidian Parties?
Citizen’s are ready, its upto TNBJP to reciprocate or ignore the signals.
JaiBharat….
Vande Mataram.
