Developmental greatness

#Developmental #Greatness

It is fortunate that the minister did not say that the cracks in the houses built in the Churalmala Township are not a construction defect, but an innovative technology to increase ventilation in the houses. If we listen to the minister's justifications, starting from Kinar Golu to Varagolu, we may feel that all the people of this country have problems with their eyesight. Trolls called Koolippani Rajan are also celebrated on social media

When the miraculous movement called Uralungal is being built, it is natural that the Perumpalam bridge, which cost one hundred crores, will reach two hundred and seventy crores. If people doubt whether this extra amount was set aside to buy epoxy glue to seal the cracks in advance, they cannot be blamed.  We have other ministers who are smart enough to say, "Even if we see a crack in the bridge tomorrow, it is a gap for the fish in the lake to look up." 

The minister who declares that houses leak when it rains is a fake news created by the media is a huge mistake. There is only one way out in the face of a government that does not value the tears and complaints of the people; take out that magical K-nativity card and wave it once again. The mapras hanging in the crack will jump onto the card.

First, let's see how we can plug the leak of this construction waste, which was carried out by throwing away the money generously donated by the public without any criteria. Let's not forget that the ministers who are waiting to step down will not be worth anything in the face of the people's conviction that whatever card they wave to cover the cracks of corruption, it will not be worth anything.

Masked Analysis

#Masked #analysis

The post-poll seat projections churned out by several news channels have become less about analysis and more about manufactured narratives. With only 140 seats in the Kerala Assembly, it is logically absurd that combined projections across channels casually cross 300 seats. 

.

This exposes a deeper problem. These figures are not grounded in data integrity but in speculative exaggeration designed to influence public perception. 

.

Instead of responsibly interpreting voter sentiment, many channels appear to be competing in sensationalism. They stretch numbers, amplify selective trends, and present guesswork as near-certainty. Such practices erode the credibility of media and insult the intelligence of the electorate.

Even more concerning is the growing suspicion that these projections are not entirely neutral. When certain fronts are consistently awarded disproportionately high seat shares without transparent methodology, it raises valid questions about bias and possible external influence. Media houses have a duty to inform, not to manipulate or pre-condition public opinion ahead of official results. 

Stronger norms, transparent survey methods, and accountability mechanisms are urgently needed to curb this trend. Until then, viewers must treat such post-poll surveys with caution, recognizing them not as facts, but as potentially motivated narratives masquerading as analysis.

The polling figures

#The #polling #figures

​While the Left is dreaming of the sweetness of a continuation of the rule, the UDF camp says it will win a century and come to power. The NDA is also the kingmaker by winning no less than 15 seats with the slogan "Government for you, power for us". 

However, the real hero this time is none other than the real SIR. The incidents of the deceased wearing white clothes and going out at night to make friends with the polling officials and casting fake votes the next day were not reported. This invisible control has made many leaders feel nervous.

​

​The situation of some election officials who did not read the presiding officer's handbook even once was worse than some leaders who entered the field without knowing the election rules. That official who spent four hours trying to find out which finger was which before applying ink to the voter's finger must be a researcher in reality.  These people, who show such stubbornness in the name of an unknown law, whether in their own homes or in the office, are unexpected obstacles in the democratic process.

​

​While Chandy Oommen's no-poster, no-pot-and-pan model in Puthuppally is a brave example that future candidates can try, some other scenes were not so pleasant. The satyagraha dramas in front of the booth and the clashes between the supporters outside the booth tarnished the festive image of democracy. The stabbings and other unpleasant incidents that took place in the meantime became a shame for the entire country. 

Those who talk about development and law should have taken care that the enthusiasm of the supporters does not turn into violence. In the race for votes, we should at least be careful that human values ​​do not get trapped in the voting machine.

People's expectation

#People's #Expectation

Here are some of the essential issues that should be the priority issues of the government that comes to power in the next election

Schools and villages that are being controlled by the liquor and drug mafia, death pits on roads that threaten lives, youths who are fleeing to other countries due to unemployment, and hospitals that are suffocating due to lack of basic facilities: all these together question the survival of Kerala. When crop failure and price collapse are debilitating the farmers, institutions like Supplyco are selling dead stock of puttu powder even during elections without providing the necessary assistance.

The lack of safety for girls and ordinary people on the roads, backdoor appointments using PSC as a pawn, goondaism, injustice on the part of the police, excessive fees and fines for government services, etc. make a mockery of the claim of a "developed society". The style of government where promises often turn into empty words is increasing disappointment and distrust among the people.

 When landslides, floods and epidemics cause misery, the government's style of making money by neglecting disaster management is a cause for great concern. In a situation where even basic things like salaries, pensions and rations are uncertain, the people are not demanding any extraordinary benefits. On the contrary, they are demanding only the right to live with dignity. The people hate a government that thinks it can continue to govern by increasing the public debt.

The country needs a government that does not suffocate the people, but one that protects their basic rights. The people's hope is that the incoming government will be prepared to take these matters seriously and act.

Psychopath

#Psychopath

In a movement that is supposed to hold its colleagues and followers together with affection, anointing its predecessor with harsh clinical terms like psychopath  violates all boundaries of political etiquette.

It is a bit of a stretch to call a leader who has been active in public life for decades and has proven his administrative excellence a 'psychopath' without any scientific basis.

When such expressions are made against a political guru who has guided generations, it is tantamount to insulting not only his personality but also the values ​​built on which a movement has been built. When this case reaches court, there is no doubt that this young doctor of political diagnosis will sweat.

This psychopathic call is so cruel that it seems that the Rs 50 lakhs asked for as compensation has decreased.  When there are so many respectable words left in the dictionary to express political disagreements, it is pure ignorance to serve expressions that should be carried with a medical certificate in front of the microphone.

Those who defame G Sudhakaran, a leader who dedicated his entire political life to the people, will only understand that words have weight when they are spent on litigation and legal fees. If they are forced to go to court and finally apologize and hold their heads high, it will be a clear warning against such locust expressions in politics.

Nunesha-Nunarai War

#Nunesha_Nunarai #War.

Those who played the drama in the shade of the AC in the assembly for five years are now preparing for a debate in the heat of the election. Seeing this, the eyes of all Malayalis who are going to the polling booth on April 9 are rolling together. The people should put their fingers in the ballot box after seeing this holy war they are going to wage! 

The opposition, which did not even dare to ask the government, which had given a public debt of Rs. 6.5 lakh crore, 'What is this?', now sets a date for the debate, and it seems that they were on some other planet until today. It will be fun to watch this 'friendly match' to somehow wake up the poor voters who are feeling bored with the polling booth.

When one sees this tussle between the ruling party and the opposition here, he is reminded of the villain and hero in the  Thattupolippan movie, eating biryani from the same plate after the shooting.  When corruption and debt trap engulf the country, this adjustment politics of 'one for me, one for you', which confines the agitations to mere press releases, has no more life.

The excitement of seeing the alternative force called NDA growing as a threat among them is now coming out as a debate. These discussions, which try to deceive the people by making noise even though the pot is empty, are just a farce, and the people will prove it when they stand in front of the voting machine.

Kayamkulam sword

#Kayamkulam_Sword

For Malayalis who have heard heroic tales about the sharpness of the Kayamkulam sword, the legend of tears heard from Kayamkulam is a bit surprising. In place of the double-edged sword that was used to cut and stab the enemy, the candidates are now taking out the cutting sword called 'Kayamkulam Karachil' to make the voter fall. 

Whether it is a lament over defeat or a rant against personal beauty insults, the election procession in Kayamkulam has now become the set of a melodrama movie. 

It is a curious sight in democracy that candidates have to carry kerchiefs instead of development documents when they come to ask for votes.

Do the candidates think that this excessive emotional display will touch the hearts of the voters or make them laugh?

Bearing witness to the history of Kayamkulam that calls for manhood, it is pertinent to worry that if these leaders who shed tears without any determination become the leaders of the country, the people will also have to cry tomorrow. While political battles should be fought with ideas and action plans, it would be enough if this river of tears did not overflow the Kayamkulam lake after the elections.

It would be better for the country if the candidates, realizing that a little efficiency is better than crying to influence voters, gave their tear glands a little rest.
