The election results have all come out, and the results for TN has been quite what I had anticipated. But, I am particularly disappointed by the results of 'Lok Paritran'
. The maximum votes they have managed is around 5%. If this was their results in the metro, I wonder what would have been the case, if they had contested in other areas. I am not convinced with the argument that, they have got low votes because this is their first time. DMDK in my view has done better. But, that makes me think, what is the rationale behind people's choice. Do they trust a cine actor more than a IITan for running the govenment efficiently? Looks like politics is all about popularism. Sad, but true :(
