Human translation of the news:
இலங்கையில் திடீர் அலறல்: “தமிழர்களுக்கு ஈழத்தை உருவாக்கி கொடுக்க போகிறது பா.ஜ.க.!”
New/Sudden howl in Sri Lanka: BJP will create Eelam for Tamils

“இலங்கை அரசு சும்மா பார்த்துக் கொண்டு இருந்தால், இந்தியாவின் பாரதீய ஜனதா கட்சி, இலங்கைக்குள் தமிழர்களுக்கு தமிழ் ஈழம் ஒன்றை உருவாக்கி கொடுத்துவிட்டு போய்விடும். அதன்பின் நாம் எதுவும் செய்ய முடியாது” என்று அபாய எச்சரிக்கை கொடுத்துள்ளது, இலங்கை எதிர்க் கட்சியான ஐக்கிய தேசியக் கட்சி.
SriLanka's opposition party has issued a warning : "If SriLanka remains passive, India's BJP will create Tamil Eelam for Tamils in Srilanka. Then we wouldn't be able to do anything"

இலங்கை ஐக்கிய தேசியக் கட்சியின் உப தலைவர்களில் ஒருவரான லக்ஷ்மன் கிரியெல்ல, கொழும்புவில் நடைபெற்ற செய்தியாளர் மாநாட்டில் இந்தக் கருத்தை தெரிவித்தார்.
One of SriLanka's United National Party's leaders, Lakshman Kiriella said this in a Press summit in Colombo.

அவர் தொடர்ந்து பேசுகையில், “பா.ஜ.க., இந்தியாவில் தற்போதுள்ள ஆளும் கட்சியான காங்கிரஸ் போன்ற ‘கொட்டாவி விடும்’ கட்சி அல்ல. அவர்கள் (பா.ஜ.க.) தீவிர இந்துத்துவா அமைப்பு. அந்த கட்சியின் தலைவர்களில் ஒருவரான ஜஸ்வந்த் சிங், ‘இலங்கை அரசு இனியும் தமிழர்களுடன் விளையாடினால், எமது கட்சி அங்கே ஈழத்தை அமைத்து கொடுத்து விடும்’ என டில்லியில் வைத்து கடந்த வியாழக்கிழமை கூறியுள்ளார்.
He continued: "BJP is not a do nothing party like Congress. It is an Hindutva group. One of their leaders Jaswant Singh had said that if SriLanka continues to play hokey with Tamils, then his party would create Eelam for Tamils.

இந்தக் கட்சியினர் சொல்வதை செய்யக் கூடியவர்கள். விடுதலைப் புலிகளால் 30 ஆண்டுகளாக சாதிக்க முடியாததை, பாரதீய ஜனதா கட்சி சாதித்து, ஈழத்தை அமைத்து கொடுத்துவிடும்.
<Continuing his quote> This party do what they say. They would achieve what has not been achieved by Tamil Tigers in 30 years.
பா.ஜ.க. ஈழம் உருவாக்கி கொடுக்கப்படும் என்று கூறுவதை நாம் லேசாக எடுத்துக் கொள்ள கூடாது. இந்தியாவின் தேசியக் கட்சி ஒன்று, அது ஆளும் கட்சியோ, எதிர்க் கட்சியோ, முதல் தடவையாக ஈழம் பற்றி பேசியிருப்பது ஒரு அபாய எச்சரிக்கை” என்றார்
<Continues> We can't take this lightly. It is a warning that for the first time one of the National parties have spoken about Eelam(creating one).

லக்ஷ்மன் கிரியெல்ல, “வெளியுறவு அமைச்சர் ஜி.எல்.பீரீஸூக்கு சமீபத்தில் நான் நாடாளுமன்றத்தில் வைத்து கூறியதைதான் மீண்டும் கூறுகிறேன். இலங்கை தற்போது போகும் பாதை, சூடான், மற்றும் கிழக்கு திமோர் சென்ற அதே பாதை. அங்கெல்லாம் அரசுக்கு என்ன நடந்தது?
<Continues,This is where it goes into SL's local politics and considering it is Ranil's party I would assume he is suggesting some policy change for treatment of Tamils, though that is only my reading of it >
I would repeat what I said to Foreign Minister in Parliament. Srilanka treading the similar path as it was done by East Timor and Sudan. What happened to those Govts?

இப்போது, இந்தியாவின் பா.ஜ.க.வினால் அச்சுறுத்தல் ஏற்பட்டுள்ளது. நாம் உடனடியாக இந்தியா தொடர்பான எமது வெளியுறவு கொள்கையில் மாற்றம் கொண்டுவர வேண்டும்” என்றும் கூறியுள்ளார்.'
<Continues> This is a threat by BJP. We have to change our foreign policies(to reflect this).

Delhi people are dumb, but not that much to give 4 seats to AAP in Lok Sabha. AAP voters will be mostly from traditional Congi vote banks, slums, muslims and a few from PLUS (Pada Likha Ullu Samaaj) onlee. Most of AAP supporters that I know are disillusioned now. The ones still supporting them are the kind of wilfully blind idiots I'd not touch even with a pole.

Even in Vidhan Sabha elections, BJP had bigger vote share than AAP.

Eelam would have been a reality but for that megalomaniac, crooked, fascistic, pseudo-EJ, violent criminal called Prabhakaran who committed suicide the day he ordered the killing of an ex-Indian PM. I think BJP may put more vocal and visible pressure on SL Govt to give Tamils a fair deal and sell it in TN.

I presume he is Naval Kishore Yadav, an RJD MLA who crossed over to BJP and who was "assured of" Pataliputra LSC. That is of course before BJP caught the whale Ram Kripal Yadav in its net! Now Ram Kripal Yadav gets to fight from Pataliputra.

Naval Kishore Yadav may have been a Baba Ramdev chela, and BR may have facilitated the cross-over!

All this may of course not be true!

Nawada is not a good seat for BJP-it is a Kurmi-Koeri dominated area, IIRC. Giriraj Singh is the best choice there, I should think.

Ashwini Chaube also not happy

Which does Chaubey want to contest? His Bhagalpur is going to Shahnawaz Hussain (was same last time, too). Problem with Shahnawaz is that he cannot win from his constituency of Kishanganj-which is totally Muslim dominated. `Rightfully', Chaubey is the correct candidate in Bhagalpur. But Shahnawaz needs to be accommodated somewhere, so I guess Chaubey got screwed.

I am not sure how they will deal with shotgun either if ramkripal get pataliputra seat.

Shotgun is known for his diplomatic skills and his all-round likability. He drops by at brother Nitish Kumar's and brother Lalu's house just to ask about their well-being.

I hope BJP declares Patna Sahib last after Niku and Lalu have already declared their candidates there.

Really? Then the Madurai people will ask for a separate Pandya Nadu. Saar, first BJP or any party cannot promise anything regarding the territorial integrity or rights in another country. But it can work towards a conflict resolution and influence SL in giving the Tamils their due place in the land. I do not see TN secession from India, it is all the minds of fringe elements.

Expelled DMK leader Alagiri meets Rajnath, offers support: PTI

New Delhi: In a significant development, disgruntled son of DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi MK Alagiri has reached out to the BJP with an offer of support for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

Alagiri, who was suspended from his party recently, met BJP President Rajnath Singh for about 45 minutes during his visit to Delhi, sources said.

The former Union Minister and Singh discussed the current political situation, they said.

Expelled DMK leader Alagiri meets Rajnath, offers support Alagiri is said to be furious over denial of tickets for his supporters for the Lok Sabha polls.

Alagiri offered his support for the BJP alliance which also includes DMDK, PMK and MDMK in Tamil Nadu, the sources said. However, there was no commitment from Singh.

The Madurai strongman has considerable influence in about seven Lok Sabha constituencies in south Tamil Nadu.

He had fielded some rebel candidates against DMK in the 2001 Assembly elections, which caused a lot of damage to the party in about 12 constituencies.

The meeting was fixed through a senior BJP leader from Tamil Nadu.

The move comes at a time when the former Union Minister is believed to be unhappy over his suspension and the rise of his younger brother MK Stalin in the party affairs.

Moreover, Alagiri is said to be furious over denial of tickets for his supporters, which is an indication that he being sidelined from DMK.

Denied a ticket and embarrassing the party by meeting Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Alagiri yesterday said he would decide his future course of action after consulting his supporters amidst reports that may float his own outfit.

"I would surely play a role. But, I cannot indicate the kind of role," the sulking leader had stated.

Vibhishan would now do a Yeddyurappa! Berry Berry Gudd!

Rajesh ji,

More chaos in TN the merrier it is. The only issue is Alagiri could end up damaging DMK just enough to help ADMK win and not help enuf to help NDA win the seat. BJP in TN should have one single goal, the result should be as fragmented as possible. ADMK/Jaya should not get more than 15-20 seats under any circumstances.

That is true, if he is adamant, what can BJP do. Even Giriraj singh sir, he is an MLC now. He has to show some prowess at LS level, he just cant ask Bhola Singh to vacate his seat for him.

TDP seals tie-up with BJP: Times of India

HYDERABAD: The seat sharing alliance between the BJP and TDP has been finalised and an official announcement is expected early next week. According to sources privy to the development, the BJP will contest 8 of the 17 Lok Sabha seats in Telangana and 4-5 of the 25 Parliamentary seats in Seemandhra. The TDP will contest from the remaining seats.

For the assembly, the TDP is to give the right-wing party 15 of the 175 seats in Seemandhra and 25 of the 119 seats in Telangana. The seat sharing has been finalised and all that is left is to identify the seats from where the BJP will put up its nominees, TDP sources claimed. TDP president Chandrababu Naidu wants to become the convenor of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), but the BJP is yet to take a final call on it, they added.

The sources claimed that the announcement on the alliance will be made in Delhi by senior BJP leaders in the presence of Naidu next week. After the official announcement , a public meeting will be held in Seemandhra later this month where BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and Naidu will share the dais with the slogan 'Modi for PM, Naidu for CM.'

"The date for the public meeting has not yet been finalised , but it will definitely take place this month," TDP Rajya Sabha member CM Ramesh told TOI. Naidu and Modi shared the dais at a youth mela for the first time in Delhi on October 2 last year leading to speculations about the alliance. The TDP chief was to address a meeting in Krishna district on March 17 as part of his Praja Garjana programme , but in view of the alliance with BJP, decided to drop it so that the focus can be on the Modi-Naidu meeting. It is expected that Modi will make promises for the development of Seemandhra in that meeting

Whatever help Azhagiri can bring in in TN is more likely to accrue to DMDK than BJP. Does anyone know if Azhagiri is strong in Kanyakumari, Ramanathapuram, and/or Sivaganga?

I guess so. But if Niran-ji is correct, and BJP is encouraging Chaubey to shift to Ghazipur, it shows a different course being charted for him. BJP needs a powerful Brahmin leader in Purvanchal, and with Kesarinath Tripathi gone, there is none now. But yes, BJP needs Chaubey far more than it needs Shahnawaz Hussain.

That makes it 12 at the minimum, I think Putal Devi is a BC. So if the candidate from Araria is a FC or BC, BJP has still allotted approx 50% to FC's.

Both Jaiswals are BC. Only 1 Brahmin, they have something like 6-9% population, 1 more in Lalmuni Chaubey would have been good. Cold maths, Shahnawaj is a good poster boy but Lal Muni candidature makes difference in 5-7 seats!!
I do not see another Lala (another FC, 2-3% votes), going by catse, Shatru should get it then.

Ashwini Chaubey is Native of Bhagalpur , has his political career shaped in Bhagalpur. Shahnawaz is an outsider and has done zilch for Bhagalpur. If Ashwini Chaubey wants he would win as independent candidate or at least spoil shahnawaz chance. People of BGP are not to enamored of Shahnawaz. Ashwini Chaubey has no base and no stake in Gazipur or Balia and has not worked for those people and why would he go there? Anyway if Shahnawaz is getting ticket from BGP then its bad luck for BGP and they should see that he is not elected.

Same was the story with Rita Verma , wife of Slain SP of Dhanbad, and she did nothing for DHN and lost badly. If she is given ticket BJP can kiss that seat goodbye. People are not too fond of her. Selection of right candidates is equally important as NaMo wave.
