Right from the time when surveys started pointing fingers on regional parties to be a king maker,
many analysts feared the national role of regional parties and its leaders for fulfillment of
regional needs alone.
As a clear indication of the analysts' view, manifesto of Jayalalithaa ruled All India Anna Dravida
Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) proves it to be right. Instead of emphasizing on national
issues, the party's manifesto revolves around getting clearance for all the delayed and shunned
requirements of the southern state.
Following are some of the promises pertaining to Tamil Nadu-
1. Getting DAS License for Tamil Nadu Cable TV Corporation
2. To establish Cauvery management board
3. Getting back Katcha Theevu(Island) from Sri Lanka
4. Establishing power corridors to bring electricity from surplus states to deficit states
5. To ensure that Sri Lankan government gets punished for war crimes
6. Kerosene allotment for Tamil Nadu
These issues have been rocking Tamil Nadu for some couple of decades. So this could impress the
voters in the state very much.
Following are some of the promises for the whole nation-
1. No divestment of Public Sector company shares
2. Rivers Inter-linking
3. Passing Women's reservation bill
4. Shaping the half-baked food security bill and to ensure that it reaches all states
5. Rescinding Foreign Direct Investments
6. Extending Income Tax exemption limit to 5 Lakh rupees
7. Change in fuel price determination mechanism
Out of all these, the party seems to be specific on avoiding RBI governor Raghuram Rajan's
recommendations for the states.
Apart from the above nation wide promises, the party has promised Secularism, Corruption free governance,
social welfare, bringing back black money etc.
Hence, the emergence of regional leaders would be a country with development of one particular
region and the AIADMK concluded it's manifesto with a caption, "For Tamil Nadu to flourish!" vote
for two leaves. This clearly states that a third front can only fulfill the regional needs and a
nation level development cannot be seen.
