Over the edge!

More often than not, the opposition leaders of the state of Tamilnadu have only acknowledged, if not appreciated for utilizing the temple charity funds for building educational institutes, hospitals and infrastructure and conversely at present, we are witnessing the other way around. It is understandle if the allegation comes from the BJP, for their spiritual passion, and devoted religionism, but quite appalled to hear such charges made by the AIADMK, which was once considered as a non-regious party with progressive thoughts under the leadership of both Mr MG Ramachandran and Ms J Jayalalitha.

And if we revisit their previous records, it shows that a considerable amount of money were availed for the same during their regime. When such is their track record, we only perceive that Mr Eps is speaking in the RSS tone to get into their good books.

In stead of wasting charity funds the wrong way, DMK has spent it for the building institutes with good intentions and we don't see anything wrong about it.

Of late,  we have started to sense that the chief of the AIADMK is steering the party in the wrong direction. And as it is his credibility has gone for a toss due to the inclusion of AIADMK in the NDA alliance, all these hindutuva principles will only back fire at him during election.
