As Mr. Stalin swears in as the new CM of TN, his approach on management of Centre-State relationship will be keenly watched.
Governance & Politics are 2 different sides of Federal
Polity
Mr. Stalin, the new Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu may just focus on Governance and leave Politics (on Centre/ state relationship) to others in his party . With such a carve-out, he could refrain from any critical comment on the Union Government. Announcing in advance that he would meet the Honorable PM, HM and the FM with or without agenda every month, will help avoid criticism that either he is Âbending over backwards or being Âunnecessarily abrasiveÂ. These are mere optics but then politics is all about optics.
Relying upon approach documents like
Finance commission recommendations
& Niti Aayog helps reduce the rhetoric.

Advisors observes
that ÂTN is not Delhi or WB. DMK
& BJP were in direct confrontation in a mere 6 % of the assembly
constituencies only . Mr. Stalin is
known for his matured approach as evidenced in the issue of memorial site for Dr. Kalaignar. Instead of taking to
streets he sent Mr. Wilson, Sr. Advocate
to the High Court. The Honorable PM
has genuine liking for Dr. Kalaingnar
with whom he has so much in common  Oratory / Indomitable fighting spirit /Rising from State politics to National
politics and never losing an election personally. As the Sun rises, Leaves
will wither but Lotus can bloomÂ
Why not ?
