1998
8216;Wise leader should keep options open8217;
A sensitive and wise political leader should always adopt the strategy of keeping all options open8230;I am everybody8217;s whipping girl.
The BJP leadership has a secret understanding with DMK and is trying to split AIADMK. It is not healthy to take one8217;s allies too much for granted. It is not fair on the part of BJP to maintain hidden and secret contacts with Karunanidhi in an effort to save him from his acts of omission and commission.
1999
8216;BJP should be defeated on Cauvery8217;
Political earthquake? If I elaborate, it loses its charm.
8212; At Subramaniam Swamy8217;s famous tea party, where Jayalalithaa and Sonia Gandhi met. Followed by the downfall of the Vajpayee Government in 1999.
I would strive for a third front. BJP should be defeated for betraying TN on the Cauvery issue.
2001
8216;NDA danger to national security8217;
Those who have besmirched our country8217;s image and fair name in the international fora should no longer continue in office as they pose a grave danger to national security which should never be compromised for any reason. 8212; Post-Tehelka
2004
8216;Committed to Indian PM, BJP tie-up8217;
It is a question of whether an Indian is going to be the PM or whether a foreigner is going to be the PM. So, you know very well that AIADMK is committed to having an Indian as PM. That is the main case.
We are going to have an alliance with the BJP for elections.
