Kodiyeri’s skin deepness.

Skin deepness of Kerala Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan is high; otherwise he might not have claimed in the manner that increased polling percentage in the local body elections is due to better law and order condition in the state.

Marxist goons along with LC Secretary and party candidate attacking the woman presiding officer at the S.L. Puram school booth for not allowing one criminal to vote without documents is a valid proof for Kodiyeri’s law and order. A goon cutting the hand of the Sub Inspector on duty is also an example of law and order. Channel displays of wide spread street fight and Minister G Sudhakarn’s outburst against poll officials and police also confirm Kodiyeri’s claim.
Inefficacy of Kodiyeri’s police and Election Commission’s ineptness to conduct free and fair election made the entire poll scenario vicious. Kerala Election Commssion permitting voters to cast vote without valid identification document turned the situation aggressive.
If the same Election Commission officials and the Kodiyeri poice are going to conduct the impending election to Assembly it will be more a horrible replication of this muddled election.

Pinarayi’s ‘no problem’ with Christians is fake.

Kerala CPM Secretary Pinarayi’s present care for Christian community is insincere. It is intended to get a few votes in this election and in the coming ones. The Christian clergies in Kerala feel like ‘cats fallen in hot water’. They never believe Pinarayi, who once called their bishop as ‘disgusting creature’.

The crude strategies of Pinarayi scolding the Bishops first and then sending the two ‘altar boys’ viz Thomas Isaac and M A Baby for reconciliation are known to all and this time this tactics will not work. What Marxist leaders need is faithfulness in their approach to all sections of the society. Majority communal appeasement by denouncing others is detrimental for the party this time.

Sonia Gandhi should be more vigil!

No doubt, it was a matter of high embarrassment for Congress in Kerala when AICC spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi appeared in the high court for promoters of other state lotteries at a time when the party is engaged in a bitter battle against the LDF government over the lottery issue. All the time Oommen Chandy and V D Satheesan are pooh-poohing Dr T M Thomas Isaac and the CPM for alleged involvement in the fake lotteries, but with Singhvi’s entry into the issue helped Isaac to pooh-pooh Chandy and Satheesan in return.

More interesting is the findings of Pinarayi and Kodyeri that it was Sonia Gandhi who deputed Singhvi to protect Santiago Martin in lottery case. So, hereinafter Sonia Gandhi should be more vigilant otherwise Kodiyeri’s agents at Delhi will unearth all undergrounds of Sonia Gandhi.
