The article, "public policy and
private gain" by Pulapre Balakrishnan in the Hindu (16.12.15)clearly explains
how the distribution policy of the Dravidian parties has restricted the space
for public goods in Tamil Nadu.. The youth of Tamil Nadu particularly, of Chennai who were rendering
humanitarian service of high order during the recent flood would have witnessed
directly for the first time in their life, the futility of distributivism
policy pursued vigorously at the expense of the provision
of physical infrastructure like roads, bridges, sewage, drainage
system etc., and shocked beyond limits. But the question is , have the political parties of Tamil Nadu wanting a
clear mandate to govern this State after the election of2016 learnt any
lessons? Have the voters who vote repeatedly on the basis of free bee culture learnt
any lessons ? Only the recent flood exposed fully the quality of governance of the Dradvidan parties which has ruled Tamil Nadu for most of the decades. In a away the flood has exposed the mismanagement of the disaster and has awakened the collective consciousness of the voters of Tamil Nadu and made them feel guilty about blind use of their votes
