The inaugural speech of Kamal Haasan has received applause from people of the state and indeed he spoke well, narrating his vision and mission. Certainly his speech was bounded by confusions and contradictions rather than clarity and boldness. He appeared to play safe and soft with DMK and was vociferous against AIADMK although he did not made any direct reference of any political party in his speech.

The point of contradiction is that he is keep attacking AIADMK by justifying that AIADMK is ruling the state. No one, even the child in the womb would say AIADMK will come back to power again in the state. With this present government, AIADMK as a political party may evaporate, disappear and vanish from terra firma. So keep attacking AIADMK, Kamal cannot position himself as a strong alternative or hope to the ailing state.

In all probability and considering the poll and caste arithmetic, DMK may come back to power. Considering the ignominious legacy of DMK, no one can say DMK is better than AIADMK and the need of the hour is a government devoid of AIADMK and DMK. But kamal is quite passive and seem to be adopting willful silence in attacking DMK or calling it equally corrupt.

Today the people are quite confused whether Kamal would join hand with DMK. To defeat AIADMK, Kamal need not start a separate political party because all the sitting MLA’s of AIADMK have done enough to defeat the party and its image. They have tarnished the image of Amma who made all these identity-less politicians to win the last assembly election.

It is not about what should be done, how he would achieve the end goal of corruption free Tamil Nadu warrants greater clarity. It has been that, through mutual dialogue and discussion, Cauvary water dispute can be settled, Kamal too says the same. It is better he sticks to his political approaches in the beginning than dialoguing about various obvious issues of the state. Definitely he must spell out clearly who are his opponents whether he is going to beat AIADMK which in all probability has gone insignificant or he is going to go aggressive to stop the emergence of DMK which is essential and the first step to achieve corruption free Tamil Nadu.
