By M.R. Narayan Swamy, New Delhi: Tamil Nadu's close race for power might prove a mixed bag for Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger guerrillas, rather than the windfall it could have been for the insurgent group outlawed in India.
The moves by Vaiko's MDMK and T. Tirumavalavan's Dalit Panthers of India (DPI) to contest the May assembly elections with Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK may provide the Tigers political access to Chief Minister J. Jayalalitha they lacked - if she retains power.
But if India's ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) ousts the MDMK for aligning with its foe in Tamil Nadu, it could be a setback for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) whose cause Vaiko advocated with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
At the same time, the Tigers will be aiming at a favourable political climate in Tamil Nadu, something they have lacked since they assassinated former Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1991.

 LTTE Manipulating Sri Lankan AND Indian elections??
LTTE seems to be quite successful in putting people they want to be in power by manipulating parties and voters.
In Sri Lanka they put MR in power which EU and US don't like. In India they put Vaiko to control Central Government on Tamil policis In Tamil Nadu they have got Tamil Panthers and MDMK to form alliance with Jeyalalitha who was totally against the LTTE all these times. |
