For tn imo, if we are going by the premise that the elections were fair which we are, then the line of reasoning of a deep state/global project takes a backseat to the more important matter: the people of tn willingly chose to elect tvk and it's charismatic leader to power. So the question must be a...

Increasingly, I am coming to view this war as America's Suez moment. Britain and France could have carried the Suez campaign militarily through, but it was their ally America, which withdrew support, and that signaled world opinion turning decisively against them. And so it feels about the US now. ...

Thanks for the response Sachin sir. But damn, TN's election has thrown up a wild card in Indian politics after a long time.
