If the election is close
Sri Lanka could be a
deciding factor.
In Chengalpet, a retired government employee who has voted in every election did not mince his words.
Mr Appaswamy said he sympathised with the Tamil people of Sri Lanka not because of his Tamil identity but "out of humanity". But he pooh-poohed assurances by the DMK and AIADMK on the issue, saying "they are stunts for elections to get votes".
A young professional in Madras (Chennai), Mr Chandrabose, was equally forthright.
"This is all politics," he said, clarifying he was more concerned by issues influencing the quality of his life. With a wife who doesn't work and a small child, he was more concerned about the policies the parties planned to implement.

The reality in tamilnadu is not something what we can see in internet. Brute majority of people in tamilnadu just want to have a decent life for themselves and all others. Indeed they sympathize with the Sri Lankan Tamils and their suffering, they too knew that all these happened because of the LTTE terrorism.
Election campaign came to an end in tamilnadu , on Monday evening.

Movie influence as tamls are generally movie crazy people. Some of the tamil movie actors have fans associations (rasigar manrams) which are as strong as some political parties and are worshipped almost like gods.
