    Vijay’s style: Lose the battle, win the war (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Politicians are among the most diligent practitioners of the maxim “pick your battles”. Tamil Nadu chief minister C Joseph Vijay appears to have picked one he cannot win in Parliament, so he can win something more valuable at home. The meeting with Tamil Nadu MPs that the TVK govt convened on Aug 8 to discuss the Union govt’s delimitation plan to rework Lok Sabha representation was unlikely to draw most MPs. As TOI reported a day earlier, DMK, AIADMK, PMK, DMDK and MNM had decided to stay away.

    How Tamil Nadu parties slept when cockroaches raged on (opens the original)

    Sometime in the 12th century BC, the Trojans opened the impenetrable gates of the city of Troy to usher in a massive wooden horse offered by the Greeks as a token of peace to end the ten-year war. Once the horse was wheeled in, Greek warriors emerged from its belly. The rest is history.

Many of them could be Trojan horses, carrying alleg
