Felt funny and somewhat strange to read this blog. It felt more like an emotional open letter from a fan boy.
Mr. m, reading this blog, it feels like we’re watching a movie script rather than analyzing a government. You’re waxing eloquent about Vijay’s ‘fearlessness,’ yet in the Assembly, he couldn’t even bring himself to repudiate the rabid anti-Hindu slurs from Udayanidhi. Is that ‘cut from steel’ or just the same old Dravidian playbook under a new name?
We’re living in a world where we project massive expectations onto a person with zero history of administration or governance. Managing a fan club isn’t the same as managing a state drowning in public debt. You describe his victory as turning the state upside down, but without a track record, it looks more like a fragile coalition of convenience. The ‘cinematic’ era is over; governance is prose, and so far, the silence on sensitive issues and the lack of a fiscal plan suggest he might be politically overwhelmed rather than fearless.
