What greed can achieve, greed can definitely undo. The DPA, which is a ragtag collection of parties gathered together by the greed of the party supremos, seems to have been undone by the greed of the low-level functionaries.
The PMK seems pissed off that the DMK rebels bagged some of its allocated seats in the election for the heads of the local bodies. These lucrative posts were obviously to have been the price of the ‘unconditional’ support PMK provided to DMK in the state assembly.
The plan to set up a satellite township, which may have improved matters a bit here at Chennai, was derailed by PMK for some paltry monetary gain, so I am happy that they have been exposed (again!) for the nasty little buggers they are. The only (rather flimsy) hope is that J and K have the guts to ostracize this party and cut it down to size.
