Series of police raids on AIADMK members.
Chennai: Raids were conducted on October 27, at the residences and business establishments of former AIADMK ministers Nainar Nagendiran and SM Velusamy in Tamil Nadu, on Friday.
In 2006 in Tamilnadu, AIADMK was pushed out of power owing to big sweep by the DMK
Ms. Jayalalitha, a longime leader of AIADMK, has been accused of arrogant behaviour and not respecting colleagues and opposition leaders, amd of corruption. When in office she undertook economic reforms and took many unpopular decisions such as banning of lottery tickets, restricting the liquor and sand quarrying business to government agencies and banning of tobacco product sales. She also took ruthless action against gangsters, trouble makers, striking government employees and brought discipline and law and order to the stage.
IMO: One has to have great sympathy for some of the aims of the AIADMK but it is inevitable that such aims will not be popular with the corrupt. However, what the raids were about, we do not yet know. There is now a DMK Government, and it seems that heroin worth 10 crore was seized in an earlier raid involving a relative of former AIADMK minister Jeniffer Chandran about 11 Oct, and a tax raid on Thangaiyan, an AIADMK activist, of Karukkadipatti near Orathanadu in September.
