Amma came, saw and conquered

Amutha jumped in and asked, "Can you see any rowdies in Chennai?" No, she herself answered. "That's because Amma has not allowed rowdies to have their say."

It was then that Rajam and her friend Porkodi came near me with a request to be interviewed. They were carrying a kalasam to welcome Amma, and they had been there from 12 noon. Both looked extremely tired. "We are bearing the hot sun for Amma. We want her to come back. We also want to have a glimpse of Amma."

Will you shout Amma Vaazhga when she comes near you, I asked them. "We want to shout all that but when we see her, it is as if we are overcome by awe," Both of them, who had been with the party for the last 25 years, giggled.

I asked them, 'Do you know who the candidate of this area is?' "A young, educated man, that's all I know. Whoever it is, we are not bothered. When Amma asks us to vote for a person, we will vote for him."
