கார்த்திக் நீலகிரி
Jeyaretnam (JBJ) was all sound and fury. He made wild allegations of police high-headedness and repeated every grievance disgruntled people channeled through him without checking the facts. He filled up space on the opposition side of the political arena and probably kept better men out. His weakness was his sloppiness. He rambled on and on, his speeches apparently unprepared. When challenged on detailed facts, he crumbled.
Jeyaretnam was a poseur, always seeking publicity, good or bad.
