Public anger against corrupt governance has never been as intense as it is today. However, there is also public jubilation as never before. Political VIPs going to jail is an unprecedented spectacle and it fills citizens with unprecedented joy. This is not sadism. This is recognising the sign that there is hope for our country after all. When A Raja went to jail, the general feeling was that the arrogance of his party had invited the punishment. From T R Baalu’s days DMK ministers in Delhi had behaved as though they were viceroys of the Almighty. People have their own ways of reaching conclusions. The general feeling in this case was that, be it A Raja or Dayanidhi Maran or Azhagiri, they were all using their power for their own and their group’s interests.
