"There are a certain class of politicians who if expelled out of the party for wrong doings would retire from public life. Or some people would join another party. But there are another class of politicians, who keep on contacting persons of the party from which they were expelled and convey them that they will come in and gain the old glory and would wreak vengeance if you dare us now.’ - This was Jayalilatha's speech in AIADMK General Council Meeting...perhaps a last nail in Mannargudi Mafia's coffin...
As the state was battered by rains and cyclone, Jayalalitha was only keen on putting a full stop to all kind of rumours of a patch up with Mannargudi Mafia. This after Jayalalitha’s dramatic decision expelling the MM cartel from being the ‘omnipotent power center’. Top rung dons of the MM cartel were found creating under currents that they would bounce back and again rule the roost. In fact key members belonging to the MM cartel were sending out messages that those who are gleeful of their present discomfiture would be taught a lesson at an appropriate time.
But Jayalalitha dropped another bombshell for the Mafia in her General Council speech by sending out a clear message not only to party leaders and cadres, but also to bureaucrats and officers in Tamil Nadu.
But Jayalalitha dropped another bombshell for the Mafia in her General Council speech by sending out a clear message not only to party leaders and cadres, but also to bureaucrats and officers in Tamil Nadu.
The direct message to bureaucrats and police officers Jayalalitha narrated a story of an officer. An officer who is upright and known for his honesty was tempted by some people to do an illegal action. He was assured that no one will ever know about the mischief but he will be rewarded with money for his life. The officer who took time for a day had a sleepless night. After wracking his brain throughout the night, in the morning he decided to check with his mother. He sought her suggestion whether to go ahead and do the illegal act and receive the bribe. His mother replied, just for contemplating whether to do the illegal act or not you have lost your sleep. If you go ahead and commit the act, it will prick your conscience for your entire life and you will lose your sleep. Quoting this story in her usual style, Jayalalitha said such mistakes and treacheries a person commits would prick one’s conscience and take away their sleep. This is read as a direct message to the administration and some officials in particular who were serving as power brokers for Mannargudi Mafia. Referring to such a class of politicians Jayalalitha made it categorical that any such party personalities who are found hobnobbing with those who belong to such class would never be spared.
Then came this indirect message..."There are a certain class of politicians who if expelled out of the party for wrong doings would retire from public life. Or some people would join another party. But there are another class of politicians, who keep on contacting persons of the party from which they were expelled and convey them that they will come in and gain the old glory and would wreak vengeance if you dare us now. The moment Amma made this statement ministers, partymen who are Sasikala loyalists were visibly upset.
Jayalalitha’s statement to this effect is seen as an obvious reference to the back door efforts of the MM cartel, which we had reported in whispers in Tamil Nadu. As we reported, a separate report on the activities of MM cartel is being sent to Jaya by the state intelligence. In this backdrop MM cartel's move to approach Gujarat CM Modi, TDP leader Chandrababu Naidu and Liquor baron Vijay Mallaya seems to have angered Amma.
Whispers doing rounds in Poes garden is that Amma is well informed about the IAS and IPS officials who were in touch with the Mafia, who were helping them to fulfill M Mafia's evil designs.
