It takes two to Tango
No irreverence meant. Could someone explain how CMs VS and Karunanidhi have decided to talk on issues like Maudany's wrongful confinement/release and water levels in the barrages.
Both these need to be addressed with a degree of urgency. The first one of course thas electoral repercussions. Now firmly seated in the Chair, do these CMs believe in garnering votes for the next one, by appeasing the minorities.
It's time we had a comprehensive policy on Minority status so that adhocism can be averted. And, the Centre and State stopped distracting the citizen from genuine issues of governance to emotive issues which can be the spark to the communal tinderbox. Probably unknown to the common man governance continues in a particular way irrespective of which party is in power. The info thrown to the Media keeps simmering while the "honest politicians" corner tracts of forest land(Mani-Joseph, belong to opposite Fronts but cornering large tracts og Govt land is their major interest) and the Front in power looks the other way.
Another drama taking place is the infighting within the Marxist party. While they take potshots at the govt that has stepped down, nothing is happening because the BIG BROTHER of the LDF has to set its own house in order. Having played the role of an Opposition for long years, one wonders if that takes away the potential to administer the State.
How dare one cast aspersions on our leaders?
Why not?
The money and energies that have gone into the elections just over, were not merely to set the LDF juggernaut rolling, people expected some concrete efforts.
In the midst of inaction by the peoples'representatives. it would be a good idea to think of a constitutional amendment which seeks to have retirement age for our politicians.
Life is hectic but repeated visuals of sleepy leaders at PB meets and public functions only tell us -if they do not know when to hang up their boots-the constitution is to safegaurd the interests of the people and the country and not the power-pelf hungry vultures that cling to power.

Redemption for kerala lies in the creation of an apoliticaL youth - something women's scan think of. If someone is willing to take the trouble, i can give ideas(unfortunately, i'm not of the stuff that activists are made of - but i do feel strongly about issues.Guess you'd call me an arm chair critic- but they have their uses too, you know!)./
never too late to start- catch them young and in tweelve years after they join school, they become voters.
