Why Jaya may call for polls in November

When is the auspicious and exact timing of the Tamil Nadu assembly elections? November first week?

On Monday, Jayalalithaa spent three hours pouring over the Hindu almanac to identify the auspicious occasion for her swearing-in ceremony as Tamil Nadu chief minister.


One of the reasons Tamil Nadu may go in for polls in the first half of  November is that she spotted an auspicious date.


Jaya is considering Ayudha Puja Navratri -- Vijayadasami -- which falls on October 21 or November 11, which is Diwali. November first week also means that the Election Commission may club Bihar with Tamil Nadu where a new legislature will be in position by November 29.


If Jayalalithaa wants to dissolve the state assembly she needs to inform the Tamil Nadu governor in the first week of July. By then, Jaya's efforts would be to bring the state administration under her control.


For the past six months, O Paneerselvam did not look at a single policy issue leading to paralysis in governance. Developments in infrastructure, or industry or business have all come to a standstill. Jaya has a full one month to institute changes.
