[00:00 - 00:15]
Ahmed Shabbir: The news is that, while we were talking about whether such a thing can be done… Some things have been said from Delhi as well.

Siva ETB: This idea came out of Delhi itself. It didn’t originate here in Tamil Nadu. From Delhi they told “someone” and that “someone” spoke to ADMK and DMK that’s how it originated.

[00:16 - 00:35]
Ahmed Shabbir: I got the info from an important leader, an important leader from NDA has told me…
Panelist: Everyone who talks to you is very important leaders, right?
Shabir: haha.. One common person (Rajnikanth), not a political person but a common person has friends in all the political parties.
Panelist (in split-screen): Just say he is from cinema industry at this point.
Ahmed Shabir: A common person.

[00:35 - 01:00]
Ahmed Shabbir: This common person came up with this idea. In Tamil Nadu, he wants only a Dravidian Party leader to rule.. ‘looks like a nice idea’ and that how this idea gained momentum.

[01:00 - 01:20 approx.]
Ahmed Shabbir: You have to notice something here. Vijay is going for his first time… Giving equal convoys because Congress gave support that day. It was boosted.
Siva ETB / others: But on Monday itself, they put in their own convoy.
Ahmed Shabir: That’s right, sir. When you came to Raj Bhavan, the views were full.

[01:20 - 01:45 approx.]
Ahmed Shabbir: On the next day… all those convoys got scaled down.

Panelist: Vijay said no to them.

Shabir: No, all that is different. In 24 hours, what changed? From noon that time, views have been different. This idea(DMK-ADMK was talked more fiercely.

[01:45 - 02:05 approx.]
Ahmed Shabbir: When I asked many people, they said ‘there was a discussion, but will they do it or not?’ But on Thursday morning they said ‘sir, this is going to be very serious’.
Siva: That’s what he said. “If we leave him(Vijay), for the next 15 years no one will remain in our(ADMK - DMK) party.”
Panelist: One person defends me… Hereafter, (DMK/ADMK)won’t exist. Vijay for another fifteen years he is unstoppable. I don’t know if I am talking to that person for real, I have to pinch myself to see if I’m dreaming..

Had a weird conversation with my school friend turned politician. He’s into politics, pretty well connected and does a lot of social work locally, not the type to exaggerate and receiving death threats for the past 4 days and asked me not to come to his house. I did go last night.

He said, “If Party X wins this time, it’s not going to be normal. Party Y supporters won’t just protest… it’ll be nonstop riots.”

He said it so casually that I laughed it off at first because I’m critical about his party.

But then he started mentioning things, how few things are already prepared, how certain areas and shops would be targeted first. He sounded very certain about it and showed the group chat full of voice notes and pictures of shops without CCTVs.

Maybe it’s nothing. Everything sounded dumb. But can’t stop thinking about it and wanted share it here.

But if he’s even half right, we’re not ready for what comes after the results.

Be safe!
