Post Polls: Tamils Want Solutions »
- Tensions grow in Mannar
- Jaffna violence mars poll
By Easwaran Rutnam-Sunday, September 22, 2013
The Northern elections may be over and results are out, but as far as the people in the North are concerned the election is just an administrative formality.
To put it in the words of Sarawanan Krishna, a trader at the Jaffna market, the Tamils want a solution to their everyday needs which so far does not seem likely to be addressed through an election.
Krishna is just one of many Northerners who cast their ballots yesterday and it was no surprise that he, like many other Tamils in the North, supported the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) – some for the mere reason that they had no other choice.
