Expedience of PMK

Todays news papers have carried the news that PMK will dump congress and switch camps to AIADMK.This was expected for quite sometime,going by the party’s habit of shifting loyalty for every election at the last moment.Left to itself the PMK can not win a single seat in any election on its own strength.They have always been piggy riding on DMK and AADMK alternatively for the last 3/4 elections. They have been doing this at every election and has proved once again PMK is the most expedient party in the Indian political scenario.The elder Ramdoss is the south Indian version of Charan Singh and Devilal.Look how opportuistic PMK is.While continuing in the UPA minsitry till date,they have been criticising the union government about their handling of the Sri Lankan crisis.Neverthless Anbumani Ramadoss continued in the union cabinet.Similarly contnuing support to the DMK government at TN,they were highly cirtical of DMK and its policies at the state level.DMK finally pushed
them out of the alliance in TN.This is  an orchestrated move by Dr.Ramadoss. He criticised DMK govt bitterly,only to switch sides at the last moment.He was just preparing grounds deviously,living up to his reputation.It is reported the junior Ramadoss is not in favour of this shift.But the party rank and file is against alliance with DMK at the sate level.He would now call Jayalalitha  “Sister” and dump her later if some one else would offer a ministerial berth at the centre for his son in post election scenario.He would then say Jayalalitha has treated him badly,which would happen for sure.With PMK most likely to be out of the congress front,DMK should be welcoming DMDK of Vijaykant heartily to balance the loss of PMK vote bank in North Tamilnadu.
