Chennai: “No work no pay only for Govt. Employees? How about horse trading politicians languishing in resorts?”
That’s the latest tweet from Kamal Haasan on Friday as he turned his indignant netrikkan at the AIADMK legislators of TTV Dhinakaran’s camp hopping resorts while threatening to topple the Edappadi Government.
“The honourable court warns teachers on strike. I beseech the court to issue similar warnings to those MLAs who desist from attending work”, said the actor, obviously drawing inspiration from the recent observations made by the Madras high court faulting the striking government staff and teachers for disrupting government work and students’ academics.
Kamal’s post on Twitter.
Known for calling a spade a spade without bothering much about political niceties for being on the right side of the powers-that-be, Kamal hit the nail right on the head while turning his spotlight on the ongoing TTV-EPS battle, which even the ‘commonest’ man on the street is able to correctly interpret as an ‘expensive’ power struggle. Just when many thought that Kamal was holding hands with M. K. Stalin—sharing a cozy dais at the Murasoli function recently—this tweet could actually embarrass the DMK leader as the latter would actually gain by the AIADMK legislators resting at resorts and giving sleepless nights to CM Palaniswami. But then, that’s Kamal for you, honest to the core and a different kind of politician—well, considering that he would keep his recent promise he would soon launch a political party to fight corruption.
Predictably, this latest tweet on MLAs in resorts quickly got numerous responses from the star’s followers, mostly complimentary. One of them even wrote out a poem calling Kamal an “inspiration” come to lead “our aggression” so that the lions (people) sleeping in slumber wake up. “It’s time to take over; come Ulaganaka come”, she said.
