Jaya goes national

The jinxed trip of Jaya to the Hindi heartland finally saw light today. There was always an accident or something as simple as a letter which seemed to stop her from campaigning for the Samajwadi Party.
Last time, it was a minor accident that she met with on her way to meet the Tindivanam blast victims. And this time, it was a bomb threat "endangering" her life. Is it sheer coincidence that such ill omens occur when she gets ready to address for the ailing party which has, till the last exit polls, fared very badly? Or is it the Dravidian policy of her party which votes for "Engum Tamil and edilum Tamil" that stops her from addressing a rally in Hindi??
Whatever be it, disregarding all ill-omens, the lady from South bowled over the Hindi audience with her full-length speech in Hindi, the first ever in her political career. Looks like, she has already started etching a career in national politics.

It is about time she left the cocoon of dravidian politics and got into national main stream. Her acumen is sound and sharp. Her homework is outstanding. Her vocabulary is flowing. None of the north indians can come even close to her versatality.
