Bite your tongue, sycophants
45-year-old AIADMK loyalist, Vani, who chopped off her thumb at the Shakti Kaliamman temple at Dadagapatti on May 29, as a thanksgiving for bringing Jayalalitha to power, may not be as lucky as K Saritha from Thondi in Ramanathapuram district who had sliced off her tongue at the Gowriamman temple in Veerapandi on May 13 for the same reason. Medically yes, because her thumb was sewn back after a complicated surgery and she will get the use of it while Saritha will go through life unable to speak. But while Jayalalitha has neither met nor rewarded Vani yet, she has paid for Saritha’s surgery at a big corporate hospital, has given her Rs one lakh from the MGR Trust and also has earmarked a government job for her – her tongue could not be fixed back because Saritha had dropped her sliced tongue into the ‘hundi” at the temple. After Vani cut off her thumb, and the CM met her, there was criticism that “instead of condemning such acts, politicians immediately reward the persons encouraging others.”
“The woman has two children to look after alone and no income. I will not encourage such acts,” said CM Jayalalitha this week making it clear that she’s not going to be a sucker for acts that rationalists feel are driven by “obsessions”.
Some also do it for 15 minutes of fame. Committing self-immolation when a leader dies or a party loses in elections is not unusual in Tamil Nadu. But Raj Kannan, a 35-year-old van driver in Coimbatore, consumed cow dung on May 13 when his vow that Jayalalitha be returned to power came true. He did not do his self-sacrificing act at home but in front of the collectorate after telling his family the time and place! So the police shipped Raj Kannan off to hospital where he recovered.
