A true benevolent authoritarian enforces discipline for the greater good: Seeman

Your party’s manifesto talks astir reorganising the system astir agriculture. Are you talking astir shutting down industries and factories implicit clip oregon seeking equilibrium betwixt concern maturation and cultivation growth?

I americium not saying we should unopen it down. But determination are toxic industries that poison the land, water, and air. Those cannot beryllium allowed to operate. If we privation to supply jobs for everyone and physique a unchangeable economy, we indispensable determination towards an agriculture-centred economy.

We indispensable execute self-sufficiency successful nutrient production. Today, galore countries person collapsed due to the fact that they abandoned agriculture. Meanwhile, adjacent indispensable nutrient items specified arsenic onions are imported from countries similar Egypt. What pridefulness is determination successful exporting cars? I americium not saying unopen the factories. Let them exist. But I volition besides make government-led industries based connected section resources. These volition make jobs without immense salaries but with debased surviving costs. Today, engineers are unemployed. Highly educated radical use for watchman jobs.

Why not enactment successful agriculture-linked industries instead? Managing dairy logistics, production, processing — are these not jobs? Is accusation exertion enactment the lone 1 that matters? Why is it that lone if a occupation is astatine an American company, it is considered ‘real work’? Is this not work?

NTK’s manifesto talks astir decentralisation of powerfulness but astatine the aforesaid clip talks astir “benign authoritarianism”. Don’t you find it contradictory?

Authoritarianism is not tyranny. Hitler was not a existent authoritarian person — helium was oppressive. Extremism means beardown committedness to an idea. Terrorism is eliminating radical who disagree. A existent benevolent authoritarian person enforces subject for the greater good. Like a doc giving a achy injection to prevention a child. In our country, radical travel rules overseas but not astatine home. Why? Because of excessive state without discipline.

We request maximum authorization to instrumentality minimum ideology effectively. Decisions indispensable beryllium democratic, but execution indispensable beryllium strict. Like a parent forcing a kid to devour — it whitethorn look harsh, but it is love. That is benevolent authoritarianism.

Without discipline, determination volition beryllium nary order. That is wherefore we spot lawlessness and societal decay.

Why didn’t you articulation an confederation oregon haven’t been capable to signifier an confederation that accepts you arsenic the person contempt having implicit 8% ballot share?

The crushed is our extremity and ideology. When [actor and TVK founder] Vijay came to politics, helium declared E.V.R. (E.V. Ramasamy) arsenic his ideological leader. I americium warring to decision Dravidian ideology... but helium is erstwhile again trying to works it.

He talks astir defeating the DMK and the AIADMK, but helium accepts Dravidian ideologues arsenic his relation models. I consciousness the parties person utilized freebies to fool people. Tamil Nadu’s indebtedness has astir touched ₹10.5 lakh crore, but prime of healthcare and acquisition has not improved. So, each these parties are much of the same.

Did you scope retired to the CPI(M), CPI, VCK, and the PMK for an alliance?

They won’t basal for Tamil nationalist politics. None of them volition come... they person accepted the thought that it is not imaginable to triumph without giving currency to get votes.

Also, they person immersed themselves into the Dravidian ideology and aligning with a caste outfit doesn’t enactment for us. We are a enactment for all... pursuing authorities for all. So, who is determination for maine to signifier an confederation with? Only Vijay.... but helium toes the aforesaid enactment arsenic Dravidian parties. I volition instrumentality my time... but I won’t spell back. It is the radical who should determine to backmost us. You person tried the DMK and the AIADMK.... wherefore don’t you ballot for america now? How atrocious tin we beryllium — worse than the DMK or the AIADMK?

If voted to power, what would the archetypal six months of an NTK government look like?

I volition commencement implementing a 10-year greenish program — employment radical to works trees conscionable similar however we person sanitation workers [to region garbage].

I volition statesman removing encroachments properly, clear, desilt, and maintain waterbodies. I volition make caller h2o retention systems — quickly, rapidly, connected a war-footing.

We request to physique healthcare systems — authorities hospitals that tin rival backstage hospitals. I person seen how Arvind Kejriwal [former Chief Minister] has done this successful Delhi and [Chief Minister] Pinarayi Vijayan has done successful Kerala.

We request to acceptable up “green” schools, “green” roads portion removing invasive trees specified as seemai karuvelam and eucalyptus. At the aforesaid time, I volition make jobs successful people’s surviving areas, amended education, and healthcare quality.

You are dismissive of nonstop currency transfers to the people. You privation educated radical to accommodate to “village-centric” economical growth. We person radical moving successful industries and earning a bully salary....

When freebies are given, labour, wages for labour, and improvement doesn’t happen. This is dangerous.

What I accidental whitethorn beryllium comic now, but radical volition hide however to enactment (hard). We cognize however radical suffered erstwhile herb prices rose.

We each devour milk, ghee, butter...eat meat... we each privation integrated food... but we consciousness it is beneath america to rear sheep and cows.

So, erstwhile we spell to self-reliant, village-based economy, we tin aspire for a bigger beverage market. When we supply prime escaped education, prime healthcare, and axenic drinking water, economical needs trim drastically. This means radical don’t request precocious wages.
