Mankollai,Mylapore,Chennai, 1800 hours.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of mostly middle class area of Mylapore, is festooned with Party banners, Flex boards,buntings, autos blaring loudly with songs in praise of the leaders of TMP, Tamil Munnetra Peravai, (TMP)Tamils Development Congregation, till recently a part of the ruling coalition at Delhi, now sulking after having been forced out of Power at the Center.
The Meeting is to be addressed by the Party patriarch Sundara Linganar, aged 80.
The small fry had been allowed to speak and now the leader takes the Mike.
(The Leader has wide and rich experience in the art of communication and the science of keeping the people enthralled)
He ensures that he speaks last and does not tolerate anyone who can speak better before he does;if they do, they are cut off, literally)
"My Dear Brothers,who mean more to me than my blood,
You may wonder, why, at my Age, I have come here, with people supporting me with their shoulders to ferry me to the dais?
I would have come, nonetheless without their support,with the support of Tamil, whose cause I have been fighting from my ninth year from my village in deep South.
Me, A Sudra, has come to be loved by people, because of my dedication and my service to Tamil,for my declaring Tamil as the Classical language, which nobody thought of.
I have sacrificed my life many a times,
I laid my head on the Railway track(when I was sure no train shall pass then) to change its Name,
I gave up my life when Tamils were being massacred in Sri Lanka,, by going on an indefinite fast ,( from breakfast to noon), till the killing of the Tamils were stopped and Tamil Elam declared.
I gave toothpaste to school children.
I erected statues for everyone (who can assure me votes, dead or alive) in Public places.
