KCBC’s anti-liquor campaign!

Kerala Catholic Bishops Council (KCBC) campaign for anti-liquor X’mas this year has yielded fruits! This year X’mas sale of liquor at Beverages outlets recorded a net sale of Rs 90.8 crore, a 7.5 percent increase compared to last year. The figure is likely to augment further in coming years even if clergies instantly stop consuming wine .

Vellappally Natesan- the new liberator of Kerala

While Chakkulathu Nampoori making Preethi Natesan the country’s own goddess, her husband Vellappally Natesan appears as the saviour of Kerala. He crosses the border from LDF to UDF by denouncing M A Baby one day over a major issue and praises P K Sreemathy the other day for a silly matter. He scolds K R Gouriamma, the veteran politician and comes heavily on LDF government for sanctioning Foreign Liquor outlets indiscriminately. Wonderfully, his kin has five foreign liquor outlets at Cherthala town alone and that too received during LDF regime. How is that?

Sasi’s soliloquy

CPM Kannur district secretary P Sasi has been removed from his post based on a compliant from a DYFI leader. The severity of the complaint is an open secret that Sasi keeps a long term ‘nerve complaint’ and could be cured only when he is taken to the south. Sasi now says to himself: “ if this is the go on of the party to leaders like him then there would be none in the party including a few ministerial colleagues”.

Psychotherapy of liquor victims!

Comrade Pinarayi administers psychotherapy for liquor victims by saying that more money than that earned from liquor sales in Kerala is spent for rehabilitation of liquor victims in the state. One wonders why, then, the Government waste its money and energy by keeping opened innumerable Beverages outlets at thickly populated junctions blocking public commute.
Seemingly boozers are a privileged class in Kerala where they could affront anyone on their way still getting ample protection from the police and adequate rehabilitation from the government.
