Moon Impact for Sudhakaran.

The ‘moon defect’ comment by UDF Convener P P Thankachan about Kerala Co-operation Minister G Sudhakaran has hit the bull’s eye. The Minister is crying like a stray dog that received a bang on its back. He is now crawling on the floor of advocates’ offices to remove the blot on his modesty shaped by Thankachan’s comment. Really Thankachan had done a good act.

All Keralites know well that Minister G Sudhakaran is infamous for his non-sense talk.
He while as minister produced more foes than friends with his ugly tongue. He ridiculed leaders like K R Gouri Amma, who is supposed to be his mentor, A K Antony, Oommen Chandy, V M Sudheeran, NSS assistant secretary and others. He called IAS Officer Bharat Bhushan as dog and searched for the underwear temple priests and government under secretaries. His portfolio is not too significant still he made much hue and cry. And at last he ridiculed Thankachan calling him as ‘person going for dinner without invitation’. The harsh response from an otherwise silent leader Thankachan has done what was then necessary. Sudhakaran twisted his body as a rat snake got hit on its tail. He sent advocate notice to Thankachan for Rs 10crore compensation. Is this amount enough for the compensation that Sudhakaran had to give if those persons mocked by Suhakaran go for damages?

So it is time for Sudhakaran to stop creating fuss in public. Thakachan’s ‘moon defect’ comment is really a ‘moon impact’ for Sudhakaran.

Backhanders of Amaravila

All transferred State Government employees of Amaravila check post in Kerala border can think of self carnage as their minister Thomas Isaac had ridiculed them calling corrupt and backhanders. Let us hope minister’s imported holy cows would turn Amaravila into a sale tax paradise of no bribe. Why can’t Saint Thomas Isaac extent his Rs 25000 perk to Village-Registration offices, and police stations where everyday one or two are suspended from service for unconsecrated act?

Losers of the Marxist Human Chain

The Union commerce ministry issued multi-colour advertisements in newspapers asking people of the State of Kerala not to be misled by wrong campaigns against the ASEAN agreement went futile. The CPI-M party programme, the Human Chain, though disguisedly organized as a drama to divert the attention of people from Lavalin and worsening Law and Order, was a big success. Noticeably, the small tea shop owners were the real losers in the human chain. All snacks and soft drinks in their shops sold out exactly at 5pm but no payment has been received. In addition, the cadres forcefully took away soft drink bottles, glasses and kettles for future use and even asked vendors to contact Pinarayi for the money. The vendors are left with no option to get back their money and equipments as petitions against Marxist cadres are not entertained in any of the police stations in Kerala
There was also blatant violation of the traffic rules throughout the human chain. The cadres in triple shared the same bike without bearing helmet for reaching at the Human Chain spot specified for them. Nevertheless, the Human Chain seems is the better mode of protest than Hartal or Bandh as the local leaders have to fret a little for people turn out. The human chain configuration is not easy as calling a hartal and waiting in front of TV with snacks and soda glass.

Needed dress code for Kerala ministers

The Thekkadi lake boat tragedy was horrifying. It killed 42 people from across country. The Government machinery and the local people did their best though the CPI leaders found no time to visit the spot. More horrifying was the fashion parade of certain ministers at the accident spot. For instance note the colourful sherwani of Finance Minister Thomas Isaac. Was he posing in Fashion Channel? Needed a dress code for Kerala Ministers.

Fake guru writing first letter

It is quite wonderful to see that along with many good and learned men there were a few cheeky politicians too to take thousands of tiny tots into the world of letters. To where these fake gurus take these children is far from one’s imagination. For instance, Kerala Co-operation Minister G Sudhakaran, who is notorious for ‘wicked saraswathi’ on his tongue, was also a guru for the big business of writing first letter on the tongues of children. Had any one a little time, then just imagine the fate of these children.

Even police are not safe in Kerala.

The India Today’s ‘best law order state’ award to Kerala Home Affairs Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan seems ridiculous for one who watches the present law and order situation in the State. The gods’ own country has really turned goondas’ on land. The peace loving people of the state are left with no option other than to remain in their home. Any complaint to police would turn adversely to the complainant as the police are in collusion with goondas of ruling politicians. Nevertheless, the police get some lessons occasionally. For instance, an Assistant Sub-Inspector of police and a constable came under attack near Thrssiur while a Sub-Inspector suffered injuries in an attack in Ernakulam district recently

It was ASI Hamzah of the Anthikkad police station who was attacked by a criminal gang engaged in “goonda collection” with a bucket at Thrissur. One constable Manoj was also injured in the attack. The bucket collection of money in thoroughfare is the notorious way of collecting and spending unaccounted money by major political outfits in the state.
Police become alert only when they are attacked. And that is why the Viyyur police sprang to action immediately and took into custody three of the goondas. Would the police expose the political affiliation of these goondas if they belong to Kodiyeri’s party?
Open harassment of people who refuse to pay money, by gangs sponsored by political parties are a common scene in Kerala. If money put in bucket is only Rs 10, the party leader shows the audacity to return the money in open and threaten the person about future consequence.

All disgrace incidents are seemingly matter of reputation for the Kerala Home Department. And that is why Chief Minister VS Achuthanandan and Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan had different opinions on the law and order situation in the State.
The law and order situation in Kerala is so dreadful that criminals are resorting to murdering innocents to settle their scores with the police. ‘No reason killing’ of a aged man in Varkala is an example. The Home Ministry of Kerala have nothing to cheer other than by accepting awards issued by independent agencies with vested interest.

Present CPM could not attract more people.

The CPM now recognizes the need to build up the party image in India especially in W Bnegal and Kerala. The present mid-level leaders are in the grip of lavish life as they get sufficient money from various sources like Sand –Lottery –Quotation-Realty mafias- is the findings of party’s top level leaders. Marxist ideology is a past story for many despite the warning from idyllic leaders like V S Achuthanandan. Achuthanandan, according to neo-liberalists is a ‘class enemy’ destined to sit in corner and that is why he was sent out of parties highest decision making body viz., the Politburo. This is regrettable. CPM has failed to identify what the actual difficulty with the party is. And that is why party has asked its leaders to change their way of life, which seems rather impossible for many.

Nevertheless, the new CPM proposal that functionaries should declare assets to the party at a time is a welcome step. And If it is not done urgently, the kith and kin of many party leaders should become millionaires with in a fortnight. It is customary on the part of one to transfer his wealth to immediate relatives before declaring assets. We have finest example like leader K Karunakaran, of course from Congress party, who declared once that his only asset as a gold ring connoting that all his work as politician and CM of the state earned him little. Undoubtedly, one who closely watches the life style many comrades could see not only top level leaders but the local level also posses huge wealth and that is what alienated voters in Kerala and W Bengal from the party .

Further, declaring assets is not a big business. It is only a tricky way to legitimize the black money amassed by hook or crook. It is a fact that comrades are being influenced by “bourgeois” tendencies and “lifestyle deviations”. The proposal for asset declaration is only a treatment over skin and it would bring no substantial improvement for the party to attract the common people.

Could the party identify and avoid those functionaries who had played lead role with sand-lottery-sex-money-land and quotation mafia? If yes, then the party can attract common people. And for that the present leadership should go.
