Goodbye Captain
Baskar Seshadri
Vijaykanth who passed away today (28th Dec 2023) had a bright Future in Politics at some point of time after he contested the elections and secured close to nine Percent of votes. This he did opposing both Jayalalaitha and Karunanidhi. It was a master stroke at that time. With no big social media, he was able to achieve this. Later During elections after aligning with ADMK He was able to get twenty-Nine MLA’s elected. In-fact it was his best support that made Jaya to win in the election at that time. Later he parted ways due to uncontrolled emotions and lost balance in public places.
Remember the slap he gave to one of his Volunteer in full Public View? Had he contested the election aligning with DMK, Kalaignar could have come to power in 2016. But he kept away from DMK.
In other words, it was captain who made Jaya to come to power and also made DMK to Lose in 2016. He was a real strong man who was aiming high and was able to reach better Heights with the mass support and Cinema Glamour. But he failed to use the sentimental cinema glamour beyond a point and there started his fall.
If only had he grown better at the same speed he was travelling he could have become the chief Minister of Tamilnadu in the absence of Jaya and Kalaignar.
But sadly, he missed the Bus. Today he is no more.
I am sure the Glamour of Tinsel world is not dead. It’s a mass Movement that matters and voters don’t see the background of the Messiah as voters mostly are emotional in Tamilnadu.
Captain did his best in the film industry with all his helping tendency and was able to give life to the Nadigar Sangam.
He is a do gooder and a nice Samaritan. If only he had a better guide and adviser probably, he could have done the election Politics better.
But it was Otherwise. A big crowd puller and a mass hero Could not do what he Thought in Tamilnadu. That was Sad. And We could not help.
