No. 2 in TN politics

Two is always 2
In the DMK when Annadurai was Chief Minister, an exception who has not brought in his wards into politics, Nedunchezhiyan was No. 2. When MGR broke away and formed ADMK there too Nedunchezhiyan was No 2. Back in DMK Nedunchezhiyan was No. 2. No. 2 was never promoted to No. 1. After Anna died, Karunanidhi usurped power pushing back Nedunchezhiyan to the same position. When the latter joined MGR-floated ADMK, he had to be No. 2. After MGR's death in Janaki faction, Veerappan was No. 2 and when Jayalalithaa won people's support her AIADMK came in for recognition, Nedunchezhiyan was No. 2. No. 2 was No. 2 for ever.
No. 2 game was stagnant. Understanding it fully well, now Stalin was announced No. 3 and not No. 2. No. 2 Anbhazhagan would be relegated after Karunanidhi and No. 3 Stalin would become No. 1. So, No. 2 in Tamilnadu politics is scape goat and they have to search for a boat to tide along to shore. Warreh Wa!
