Mano,
The stuff about the competition between Raja and Chandra Bose with the Rajadhi Raja issue was mentioned in Kumudham (perhaps jocularly, or maybe mischievously, as usual). But I don't think there was any such thing in reality.
As for the songs that he sung himself, there was a popular one in "Oru Thottil Sabadham" - Poonchittu Kuruvigala, and one more in "Naan Pudicha Maappillai" - Deepavali Deepavali thaan. In fact, both were sung for janakaraj, and were not out-of-place.
One reason for his downfall could be that IR was staging a comeback in 1989, and Chandra Bose was getting rather jaded, with more songs sounding just like Kakki Chattai Potta Machaan.
But all said and done, he did produce some lilting tunes, which were somewhat original too.
