How do you see the protest of Dr Ramadoss against the closure of nuclear power stations?

The leader of PMK, a regional party committed to the caste interests of a community in Tamilnadu always protests against critical programmes of rulers, whether friendly (coalition partner) or otherwise. His efforts to throttle the creation of satelite towns around Chennai to decongest the city in the past by various Govts had much complicated the situation in the city with multiple problems related to over crowding!

He wa against measures to expand the airport. He is now against the age old Nuclear Power plant at Kalpakkam, near Chennai. People say that earlier he mobilised people (his community is near majority in most northern districts, including chennai) against mega projects by DMK or ADMK because his party aspired for the throne and any mega project by the Dravidian units would enhance their prestige and popularity affecting his vote banks!

Now the power crisis is acute and any success of Power Plants like Kudankulam and Kalpakkam (to be strengthened for increased capacity) would further strengthen popularity of rulers at the cost of his dreams to seize power in the next term at least! I don't know if it isso, because already his vote bank had shrunk in the recent elections due to his unpopularity caused by his open nepotism, shifting loyalties and antagonism of rulers etc!

What do you think about the reasons for his movements (even the earlier anti alcoholism, anti tobacco campaigns etc were least popular since most people in rural particularly had got addicted to the evils) against Power Plants or forming satelite towns etc? How can govt solve the serious problems getting more acute due to shaortage of space, energy etc if takes up agitations against every measure ?!

    Whatever I wanted to say has been said by Raj Kish in his own way.

    These fellows Vaiko, Ramadoss, Nedumaran, Seemaan & Co should be driven out of India to spend their rest of life at SRI LANKA.

    @@Raj Kish::-- He anglicized not his name but the Doctorate he got for medicine (MBBS) as Maruthuvar (means Doctor in Tamil). Probably nobody is there to advise his how to anglicize his original name "Rama Doss"!!!!

    I don't know who conferred the doctorate on this buffoon but that he is not fit to use it is abundantly clear.

    Ramadoss (this idiot has even attempted to anglicize his name,though for what

    purpose no one seems to know) the expert flip flop politician-the "expert" qualifies only the flip flop part-has tried all combos and permutations by aligning with leading

    TN political parties only to come a cropper every time because his demands for his two bit support was costing the local and central parties very dear.So much so that every one of these outfits have discarded him like garbage.He has thus become irrelevant.

    He has now decided that he has to get to center stage for survival.What better way than to join the protest which is hitting the headlines daily?Compared to other

    issues this Nuclear Plant matter is more vibrant and timely and also an area where

    nobody has any clear idea of what constitutes full security or whether a Chernobyl or Fukushima awaits them?But it is hot and dear to the people of Koodankulam.So

    Mr.Doss,the lonely Boss is all set to play the hero and is trying to sell the idea that

    Garbage and Waste Management is not only an art and a science but also an

    excellent business proposition with various uses like composting, compacting,and

    for using as fillers for the Dumping grounds.You name it,he has the project report ready with rosy prospects of super profits.The protest is not expected to achieve the result that the protesters are aiming for but will definitely fetch Dr.(?) Doss

    the end he has planned for himself.Let us hope it is the end for him.

    Have a Good Day.

    Merits of Nuclear Plant:

    1. It may commensurate the need for monstrous demand of electricity vis-a-vis reduce the dependence on natural resources to generate energy.

    2. It will also add an extra feather to the crown of scientific application for the service of mankind.

    Demerits:

    1. Risk of disaster (accidental) just like Japan.

    2. Waste management, although possible to manage, should be properly planned, else it would trigger dire consequences for the local environment.

    3. Cost benefit ratio should be judiciously calculated for long run.

    Now, the political platform of India always play negative games (examples are ample, starting from Tata Nano in Bengal, Cast based reservation for the OBC which was further propagated by Dr. Ramados himself etc.). So the first priority is political cathersis of our leaders(!) and then take a justifiable decissions.

    Jai Hind.

    Reason for his or his so called Vannier party (vannier is a caste in T.N) for this type of agitation is to show the people that the party is still in existence and people do not care for them.Dr.Ramdoss has not learnt any lesson from the election result.Masses of the Tamil Nadu are ignoring the party in spite of the party s tall claim.

    Dr.Ramadoss want a Raj Sabha MP post and possible a place in Union Cabinet for his Son. He is laying foundation for the proposed mega shopping mall that is to come up on 2014. (Elections)
