Amma!!!

A people's leader.  Pro-poor. Gutsy. Amma!

She was an enigma at a personal as well as at a political level. For a lady to be all alone, to come out against all odds and top in grand style, only she can. A true inspiration to many, courageous & resilient and rightly called the Iron lady after Indira Gandhi, she has been there, seen it all and done it through tough times.

Being apolitical has not stopped many admiring Amma who has been immensely popular among her party men and opposition alike. For the opposition parties to come over and praise her the way they did at her funeral shows the sheer respect she has earned among all. 

I've not been a great fan of Politics which I don't take pride of anyway. However, I have always admired Amma's fearless and gutsy stance every time she had to face a hurdle. To fight it out among the men she had to and come out victorious for her successive term tells a lot about her gritty character and the ever loving support she carries in this part of the country. 

Under her regime, the Police and policing was genuine, the city safe, the poor well taken care of and the overall growth near good. A big setback in Indian politics and a even huge void in Tamilnadu state politics, her demise has not only got everyone saddened but has left a question on how well things would sustain from where she has left it. Only time will tell!! 

Saluting Amma!! May her soul Rest In Peace!!!
