Split Tamil Nadu (TamilNadu) into two states? - Chennai and Coimbatore as two capital cities!??

Is it good or bad to split Tamil Nadu into two states?

Well, hold on, hold on...This is only a question. I am not in favour of anything. This article is just an analysis. This is a highly political question.

After the outbreak of the decision of Central government to split Andhra Pradesh, there were lot of celebrations and oppositions from Andhra people from different parts of the state for the decision made. Following that, there were many states in the country asking for splitting their state too. In that, one of them was Tamil Nadu.

Not all of the political leaders were in favour of the split of Tamil Nadu. One of them was PMK party leader Dr.Ramadoss was in favor of the split of Tamil Nadu. Dr. Ramdoss said in an interview that - "While he proposed for the same split of Tamil Nadu long back, there was huge opposition, but there is no one opposing the split of Tamil Nadu NOW. Things have changed and people seem to like it, if proposed. Here is the video of Dr. Ramadoss in a press meet about split of Tamil Nadu. Why did they branch out and bring High Court to Coimbatore? Because - people from south do not have to go all the way to the Chennai city � that is the reason. It is all administrative convenience. Similarly the state can also split and be administered better.� � said PMK Leader Dr.Ramadoss.

What would they do if they split Tamilnadu into two states? North Tamil Nadu and South Tamil Nadu will be two states. There would be equal money contribution from the Center for development of states. Chennai would be the capital of former and Coimbatore would for latter. Obviously, there would be more concentration of improvement in Southern districts of Tamil Nadu, but the integrity as ONE TAMIL NADU will be broken. Will we want that?

The split should not have been talked about, but since the topic has come up, let us analyze it - right? We are not in favour of anybody, but just let us talk about it.

As ONE Tamil nadu, we have been integrated all the time wherever we go. Say - what if someone asks for separate country for Tamil nadu � will you accept it? I guess � it was already asking for? These kinds of proposals will be always there. What is wrong in the current setup as ONE TAMIL NADU as part of ONE COUNTRY INDIA? Why can�t we just live with one tamil nadu state, and as a part of one country India. Why do we have to split it?

Some might argue that � administration will be better and improvement focus can be given to areas which are not given much attention. Quality and improvement of people in those areas can be increased.

In other side, separate administration will lead to a new ministers and have more funds flow and some politicians might favour from it. In other hand � people in the southern districts might also get favoured. Having said that � Did Jharkand or Uttaranchal improve drastically, just because it was split into two states?

Though the topic is very political, the situation is going to be same � even though the split happens.

What I would say is � let us just live with the same setup and live as ONE TAMIL NADU, instead of the split of the state. This will avoid new expenses like elections and doing some personal favors.

Let us try to improve as one state and one country and one mankind world!!

Mohan Ponnuswamy had won two times for Lok Sabha from 1999. This year's election is going to be tough, because DMK candidate is a powerful man Mr.Azhagiri, with strength in Coimbatore and south tamil nadu districts and with family connections in the State and party connections in Central Government.

Overall, all we want is good stuff for Coimbatore. It does not matter whoever comes into power. All the Best and Good luck for every candidate in Coimbatore.

Vijayakanth changes DMDK candidate in Coimbatore

DMDK had Muthulakshmi as the candidate for Coimbatore. But, after the announcement of DMK as Mr.Azhagiri being given the seat in Coimbatore, DMDK evaluated the situation in Coimbatore.

DMDK President and Actor Vijayakanth decided to change the DMDK candidate for Coimbatore. Kaviarasu is the candidate from DMDK now. Muthulakshmi is moved to sivaganga most probably. Kaviarasu was a business man in Coimbatore leading the youth club of Vijayakanth fans.

There is not much popularity for Kaviarasu, however Vijayakanth is a popular personality among Coimbatore folks. We are not sure about the motive behind this change.

P.Seetharaman took charge as Coimbatore District Collector here on Monday. Prior to this assignment, Mr. Seetharaman served as Managing Director, Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (TASMAC).

Previous Coimbatore Collector S.S.Jawahar will become the Managing Director of TASMAC. Prior to Jawahar, Coimbatore Collector was Udayachandran IAS.

I wonder the reason behind change of positions frequently. I am not sure why it is like that?!

By the way offtrack- a tit-bit information:

A total of 16,92,222 voters� names, including that of 8,43,112 of women, had been published in the draft voter list covering Melur, Coimbatore East, Sholavandan (R), Coimbatore North, Coimbatore South, Coimbatore Central, Coimbatore West, Tirupparankundram, Tirumangalam and Usilampatti Assembly constituencies.

Coimbatore Politics/Coimbatore Arasiyal: Tirumangalam/Thirumangalam By-Election 2008/2009

Following the death of MDMK MLA Mr.Veera Elavarasan by Nov 2008, by-election (bye-election) is announced in Thirumangalam/Tirumangalam constituency.

The election is scheduled to happen by January 9th, 2008. By January 15th the election result would be out.

MDMK chief Vaiko (Vai Gopalsamy) has paved way to the partnership for a seat in Thirumangalam legislative election. AIADMK is contesting on behalf of the partnership between AIADMK and MDMK. Candidate nomination from any of the parties is not yet done.

Interesting part is it is going to be a great war between DMK and AIADMK. It is a prestige issue for both the parties. Since the constituency is in Coimbatore, it is a prestige issue for Mr. Anjaa nenjan Azhagiri. This task has to be done successfully from DMK's side.

No party is released a candidate yet.

By the way - there are other parties curious to take out some votes to their plate. Vijayakanth's DMDK and Sarath kumar's AISMK would be nominating one from each party.

This would take votes from DMK and AIADMK vote banks.

Let us see how it goes and we will closely watch this election. This will prove how strong the parties are in this Coimbatore area - Thirumangalam/Tirumangalam!!!
