[b]DMK releases 'educated' candidates list for TN polls[/b]
From M Rama Rao in New Delhi
[b]New Delhi, 31 March (Asiantribune, com):[/b] Contender for the Tamil Nadu 'throne' in the Fort, Karunanidhi released a list of his DMK party candidates. It is unusually titled heavily in favour of the educated, with 77 graduates in the fray prompting observers to remark the DMK's is an educated candidates list.
Muthavel Karunanidhi's ally PMK also released its own first list of 29 candidates selected mostly through the time tested consensus route. Founder Ramdoss has given tickets to only seven sitting MLAs and fielded party president G K Mani from Mettur.
As in the past this time around too, Karunanidhi will stand from his home turf - Chepauk in Chennai. His son and former Chennai Mayor Stalin is also contesting from Thousand Lights. So are the heavy weights like General Secretary Prof. K Anbazhagan from Harbor, Treasurer Arcot N Veerasami from Anna Nagar, former ministers A Rahman Khan from Park Town and S P Sargunapandian from Royapuram, former Deputy Speaker Parithi Ilamvazhuthi from Egmore and Actor Napoleon from Mylapore.

DMK releases 'educated' candidates list for TN polls
Yamuna:
I agree with your suggestion of that SL need educated and devoted people IN politics.
Again with your suggestion you contradicts your self. Because, it seems LTTE is uneducated Junta controlling and wanting to control every tamil. LTTE IS AGAINST FREE THINKING TAMILS. LTTE is a new class or a Caste.
Some how, be true to your heart. Your communal politics, you know in your heart one day lose.
Imagine and see those who died for the "tamil struggle" what they would like to live more or to die again given the choice NOW THEY IN THE GRAVE.
The same question you can ask poor people, bo the sinhala and tamil, what do they perfer - stay hungry and die for the cause or live a life. they are struggling every day for the bread and butter on the table.
BE HONEST AND BE TRUE TO YOUR HEART.
Attention - Yamuna
[b]DMK puts forward educated persons; PMK puts forward candidates who have contributed for peoples' welfare and favoured by them.
AIADMK too puts forward persons favoured by the people.
Hence whatever party comes to power, whatever government is formed, the peple will benefit.
I wish that this will happen in sri lanka.
[b]Yamuna,
You made unsubstantiated allegation when you posted your comments to the news item ”Jaffna resents the return of LTTE cadres to do political work” posted on 28/ March, Posted under “Good Governance.”
We requested you to substantiate those allegations you made, but so far you have failed to do so. We are sending this to your private mail also. In case you fail to substantiate, then that would amounts to the fact that you planned and misled the members of the Forum. We wish to provide you another opportunity to establish your credibility.
With regards.

We give you below our initial posting.
Dear Yamuna
I will request you to substantiate your allegations you made in our columns against Douglas Devananda, MP, Minister and the Secretary General of Eelam People’s Democratic Party.
You have to come up with the agreement he had with Mr. Ranjan Wijeratne as alleged by you.
As far as the facts remains, Mr. Douglas Devananda MP is one of the founder members of United Peoples Freedom Alliance, the ruling Party of Sri Lanka. Also you are now duty bound to proof without any the slightest doubt that Mr. Douglas Devananda runs a private army.
I think you have to come up to substantiate your allegations. If you fail to substantiate you have to make an open apology for misleading the members of the Forum, but in case, you fail to do so you will be automatically removed from the membership of the forum.
Waiting for your kind response.
With thanks and regards.
