As Tamil Nadu awaits the election results to be declared on May 2, the DMK has already started deciding on who the ministers will be in the next government (if the party manages to come to power hopefully).
Credible sources in DMK camp say that both Anbil Mahesh and K.N. Nehru will become ministers for sure. Inigo Irudayaraj, the leader of the Christian Goodwill Movement, who contested against Minister Vellamandi Nadarajan, is also dreaming of becoming a minister. It is being said that he might get Ministry of Labour Welfare and K.N. Nehru might get the HR&CE Ministry. TRB Raja is being touted as the Minister for State Transport. Poondi Kalaivanan who contested from late Karunanidhi’s Thiruvarur constituency is also expecting a Ministerial post.
Meanwhile, the DMK has been fretting over the outcome with many of its top leaders including its chief expressing concerns about Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) getting ‘hacked’.
Cadres from the DMK and its alliance parties have been going after vehicles with big metal containers and demanding the removal of dish antennas over fears of EVMs getting ‘hacked’.
