Trust Politics to give media juicy content. The recent resignation of social welfare minister Mrs Poongothai Aladi Aruna from the Tamilnadu cabinet on moral grounds is highly commendable.True the social welfare minister turning a family welfare minister is not ethical or acceptable. She realised this when the story broke and maintained her dignity by putting down her papers. Compare the same with our T R Baalu who turned around and asked 'What is Wrong" Who said Ministers can't be a family welfare minister ? So will he support the social welfare minister and ask her to ask the same question? And what is surprising is the Chief Minister who maintained a silence over the Baalu episode making a statement that he is ashamed. Was he not ashamed when Baalu asked " What is Wrong" The entire Tamilnadu was ashamed perhaps not the Chief Minister. I think a different yardstick applies to State and Centre Politics. Why cant he ask the Union Cabinet Minister to take a leaf out of party colleague and resign. Is it a classic case of gender bias here? Or perhaps it proves once again that politics is not for well educated professionals like Dr Aladi Aruna and its just for people like T R Baalu who are just hungry for power and intersted only in "family" welfare. or perhaps she failed to take proper lessons from Baalu and the Chief Minister !
