Hi all,
Of late, continuing with the current scenario we hardly get a chance to stop laughing. Last time I remember we were all laughing our asses off was when Rahul Gandhi gave an interview to Arnab Goswami. After that , we have hardly got good (for a lack of a better word) comedians , be it in real life nor in movies. The leading comedians in all the major ‘woods’ of our state like Vivek, Vadivelu, Santhanam, Brahmanadam, Sunil , Abhishek Bachan, Kapil Sharma everybody went out of form. That was like a dull period in our history, where people did not have enough topics to laugh heartily at.
And being a Democratic Country, the Government which is for the people has decided to do actually something for the people. All our Government departments are probably in a race to win the Kalakkapovadu Yaaru reality game show by making people laugh at them.
Last time it was the RBI, and then the local parties in our state, and now it’s the time of Election Commission.
What transpired in RK Nagar, was not even remotely possible in a Perarasu movie. Given a chance that a Perarasu movie is rare nowadays, and something which even that movie cannot think of is like a once in a century event, and that’s what rolled out in RK Nagar.
A person from Madurai , though originally from the equivalent Rayalseema , out of the blue comes into the political scene. This was totally unexpected, when people were looking at Rajinikanth, Kamalhaasan, Vijay to announce their political ideas and plans, this guy all of the sudden has arrived and stirred the storm totally in an unexpected direction.
And then comes the interesting twist of the symbols which he applied for : Whistle, Boat . Whistle was believed to be taken to rhyme with his name Vishal , but was actually expected to be taken by Kamalhaasan as he launched a ‘Whistle Blower’ application , but also apt for Rajinikanth, as that is what his fans gave him whenever he appeared on the big screen. And Boat they say is to attract the fishing community, though I doubt if they even care for the elections ! They have actually more serious issues to deal with than the election , and the symbols used in the election.
What was thought of as a serious move, instantaneously became a comedy as the Election Commission rejected the nomination. What happened was bizarre, and I have no clue of the actual happenings, and I guess nobody will have. Election Commission resorted to a scorecard ticker to indicate the number of candidates appearing in the election. It was increasing and decreasing simultaneously, and it looked like a first year student in Electrical Engineering had just got a circuit board and was playing around with the signals there. I am not joking here, the nomination was accepted-rejected-accepted-rejected-accepted-rejected-accepted-rejected, and the loop never came out like a Christopher Nolan movie.
And then to spice it up, there were even more comedians in the stage, there were too many Madhusudhanan, Dhivakaran, Dhinakaran in the constituency and all of them were contesting. This was probably a move by the ‘whatever-the-name-call-it’ party which is now left over after MGR-Janaki-Jayalalitha- left the party to cause confusion among people. Seriously, we need a separate enquiry to find out what were they drinking and eating to identify the possible source of these ideas.
And then Election commission probably realized that they are being pulled down in the contest and to prove their humor sense they gave out a reason for the rejection of nomination of Vishal :
This is not a spoof article, this is what had happened and announced officially. One would wonder, why would somebody require 10 signatures for nomination. If only the law makers were alive, we would have had another interesting enquiry to find out what were they smoking to come up with this law. I am not sure of the law whether these 10 have to be in the same constituency or whatever but why! The probability of these 10 guys voting to the party which gives them booze and money is definitely high than to the guy they signed the nominations paper for. It is not a guarantee signature, it is not like these 10 guys are taking an oath to vote for this candidate. In hindsight those ten signatures are probably more useless than this post!
But that is what Election Commissions are meant for, they have their own powers using which they can create additional powers and use it at their own discretion. You have to definitely give credits to those people who came up with this concept of discretionary powers.
Common public can only relate to Mudhalvan/Nayak
One can wonder, what I had to come up with this post I can assure you that I am in my right senses when I am writing this post and not in any sort of high, and I got inspiration for this post from a whatsapp forward.
The whatsapp forward read like this:
“ You need 1 witness to assert to substantiate a judgement for a crime,
3 witnesses for a marriage.
Higher the risk, higher the witnesses required”.
I just extrapolated with this “10 signature for a nomination”. Way to Go!
Unfortunately, the buck stops here at the nomination process. The actual number of votes required to win or margin or announcement of a winner, there is no sort of process there, not even 2 persons validating! So according to them, what they are doing is insignificant when compared to a judgment issued to a petty case!
And then the film associations, who actually have comedians started a agitation that Vishal should resign from his post as head for the film association, as the previous guys who were supporting parties did so ! It looks like all the contestants were boozing on some heavy stuffs.
Theirs is a private association, and they have their own rules and regulations and there was no rule/regulation which actually said that.
This is a classic Indian example: we practice something while we preach and prescribe something else.
But, coming back to the contest, the winners are anyway going to be The Election Commission. As they announce the winner themselves even if they are competing :) such is the discretionary powers they have!
On a serious note, they are democratic and they wait for the election and counting to complete and then announce the winner whom they had decided before even the contest began :)
Remember Sivaganga constituency!
Vaazga Jananayagam !
Bye till next,

Lawyer : ‘In accordance with the discretionary powers of CM….’,
Raghuvaran : ‘Yov! English lam pesadha, mudiuma mudiada solu’.
