Anti-hindu Karunanidhi has commented that Ram is a mythical character and there is no need to preserve the Ramar bridge, although it is revered by the hindus. This is completely hypocritical considering the fact that the Dhritrashtra of Tamil Nadu was hell bent on reinstating the mythical Kannagi's statue on Marina Beach, Chennai after it was removed by Jayalalitha. The most ironical part is Karunanidhi's wife is known to frequent a temple in Mylapore, Chennai that is dedicated to Hanuman, who is considered as the leader of the monkey force that built the building of Ramar bridge!

Karunanidhi coud be pushing this project for a variety of reasons:

- Hurt hindu sentiments. He has done that earlier by calling hindus as rogues, supporting installation of anti-brahmin Periyar statues in front of temples, and the list goes on....

- DMK party members could be making tons of money from the project contracts. TR Baalu is known to own a huge fleet of fishing trawlers and he might be considering this project as an opportunity to develop a huge shipping business.

- DMK is known to have relations with LTTE, who might be interested in the project since they could use the canal for their drugs and arms smuggling and become the mafia controlling the setusamudram canal.

This canal has all the ingredients of becoming a collosal flop. Avoid voting for the UPA members, especially DMK! We need people like Subramaniam Swamy and Advani who can oppose the bull shit that DMK and UPA are proposing.
