Sad. I felt sad. There is still a ball of grief in the
stomach. I welled up as it sunk in. And I hadn’t even voted for her. Ever.
I can now understand the emotions of the real supporters and
followers. The outpouring of grief is genuine. A state stands bereaved and it
shows.
Gutsy, stubborn and bold. Flawed, corrupt but bold. Easily the
best choice for an administrator by a mile. A leader – in every sense of that
word – that could strike an emotional chord with people in an age of elevated
awareness, access to information and endless scrutiny. Mark my words: Karunanidhi's death, when it eventually happens, will be a mere foot note.
The last of the charismatic leaders of Tamil Nadu is now no more,
leaving a party and a state at the crossroads.
I’m sad. RIP.
