About Him:
DMK veteran P T R Palanivelrajan won against AIADMK trade union leader Jakkiayan in this temple city's smallest constituency in the May 8 polls to the Tamil Nadu Assembly.

Credited with launching several development schemes for the city during his tenure as the assembly speaker from 1996 to 2001, Palanivelrajan T, popularly known as PTR.

Last time PTR contested from here was in 1980 when he was defeated by P Nedumaran, the then president of Tamil Nadu Kamaraj Congress. He is contesting after a long gap of 26 years.

The 75-year-old DMK leader chose the constituency because of its size and his acquaintance with the voters. Interestingly, PTR is a staunch devotee of Meenkashmi Amman and frequently visits the temple.

Neutrality of news publications and media

I see a news in one of the neutral publication like this -

***
Tamil Nadu Election Commission has asked for a explanation from DMK and Congress for using as many as 228 vehicles were used for election campaign.

A commission spokesman said similar show-cause notices had also been issued to other alliance partners of the DMK-led Democratic Progressive Alliance (DPA) for violation of the model code of conduct.

These things happen, and I am not saying this is a crime. But the news has not reached the major public, because of domination of media by one single group.

Well, the media and publication business is dominated by one party and just dominating and having control over the news reaching the public. From a business perspective, this is how this marketing problem could be handled, but this is not a fair thing to do to the tamil nadu public.

Someone has to save Tamil Nadu!
