'No Friendly Neighbours for TN'? says the CM

During the 50th year in Assembly celebration yesterday in Chennai, the CM is said to have stated that TN is isolated and it doesn't have friendly neighbours. Seemed strange coming as it did on such an ocassion. I also didn't notice any leaders from the neighbourhood states in the list of dignitaries listed among those present in the function.

Is TN isolated politically today, particularly among its own neighbours? Worth flagging this particular comment as it is not merely a statement of complaint from the CM or backdrop for him place his request at the PM's door, there is more to it.

We have water problems with Kerala and Karnatana, power problems with AP and Kerala, Tamils are generally not respected in Kerala, hated in Karnataka and I am not sure what they think in the post-cyber age era in AP. But, whatever may be the reasons, the fact that the CM says TN is an isolated state should be a moment of introspection for all politicians of the state.
