Whatever the third
world may opine about the Legendary Late Sri MK, he was a man of many firsts of
his kind.
*An early school dropout, MK plunged into politics through scores of agitations and alike at a tender teenage of 15
*An early school dropout, MK plunged into politics through scores of agitations and alike at a tender teenage of 15
*was an undefeated record 13 terms MLA in the annals of Indian Politics
*MK was the only living Politician to have seen in his lifespan of 94 years all the 14 Prime Ministers of our nation in 80 years public life, was 5 times Chief Minister of TN & 50 years DMK Party Chief !!
*wrote beautifully handwritren movie scripts himself and till ripe age of 92
*Excelled in media, journalism,movies,script writing and politics
*introduced many well thought out everlasting schemes for the upliftment of downtrodden that hugely benefitted poverty alleviation
*first man to admit on the TN Assembly Floor about his three marriages
*MK was always at friendly distance from Karnataka never ever creating ruckus about Cauvery River water sharing
*The redoubtable MK was a man of few words endearing himself to the masses with an assiduously built political career
*history shall never again witness likes of the Legends M/s Rajaji, Kamaraj, C.Annadurai, charismatic MGR and J.Jayalalithaa, Cho Ramaswamy, but
M.Karananidhi's Legend will always haunt his followers as last of the proverbial patriarchs who virtually lived in the hearts of TN populace
Should the funeral procession be witnessed to believe, there can't be semblance of doubt, for a neat 3 lakh people following till the mortal remains were laid to rest with full State Honour at Marina Beach, Chennai yesterday !
It'll take a while to forego his towering presence among his family, brethren, DMK rank/file and alike.
Full circle eclipse and an unfounded strong void felt in TN, Can be assumed though a hypothesis, TN was never before so rudderless.
Missing a leader of
such tall order - who remained in people's hearts for nearly 7 decades of public life or more -
looms large on the scenario.
