With Vijay Gaining Ground A Desperate DMK Turns To CJP’s Dipke To Dump Its Own SIR

The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) may not have gained much traction with their recent protests in Delhi against CEC Gyanesh Kumar, however, one hears the DMK is planning to use the CJP to reconnect with the youth in Tamil Nadu. With the ruling TVK consolidating its position in the TN, the DMK one hears is feeling a compulsion to distance itself from the Congress that has been spearheading the political protest against the poll body. The political positioning was spelt out at a meeting of DMK MPs chaired by former chief minister MK Stalin over the weekend. Interestingly, the party not only demanded removal of CEC but also scrapping of the very SIR — that the DMK regime — had presided over before it was voted out of office early this year. Political analysts find DMK objections to SIR in TN rather odd.  In fact, everyone is asking — if the TVK headed by Vijay was voted in post-SIR, why is DMK making a fuss about it now? It is being said that DMK MP A Raja has been tasked with the responsibility of reaching out to CJP leader Abhijeet Dipke and invite him to Chennai to create nuisance in streets against SIR. That means DMK is bent on creating a false storm in Chennai against Vijay and the TVK government. The moot point is will people of Chennai really have a short memory and flock to the Dipke’s show? Will the CJP be allowed to run amok in Chennai attacking the cops like the way they hit the Delhi cops on July 20?  One thing is certain, the courts may not give a long rope to either the roaches or the DMK this time round.
