Also, PK May have got it great in Bengal. But in TN, Sunil who ran EPS campaign must take a bow. Really, Stalin will be CM, but EPS has proved he’s here to stay. Without Jayalalithaa, factions openly undermining he’s show the two leaves voter is with him.

I hope Stalin and DMK will avoid a debilitating reshuffle in TN administration during this massive crisis. Outgoing and incoming CMs, I pray, recognise the gravity of crisis on the ground and work together for smooth functioning. @RKRadhakrishn

Honestly, in TN we have seen vendetta politics at its worst. But even then the blatant use of power a day before poling wasn't available. IT raids on @KanimozhiDMK is taking things to a whole new level, I guess.

It's important to restore faith of the entire polity in EVMs and EC. Irrespective of the results. EC needs to address in full transparency issues raised. If only a cumbersome VVPAT counting can restore faith why not do it.
