Care of the caretaker government

#Care_of_the_caretaker_government.

​When you see the excessive enthusiasm of a caretaker government that has clung to the seat of power even after leaving power, it reminds you of the time when the family heirloom hid the key to the palace before stepping down.

The caretaker government, which is only allowed to pay daily expenses, suddenly decided to suspend senior IAS officer Dr. B. Ashok for the survival of the country! The strange thing is that neither the prior permission of the Election Commission nor the cadre controlling authority of the Central Government hindered this 'necessary' enthusiasm. This government has also found a new meaning for the word administrative necessity, namely settling political disputes.

​What else is this action, which considered the strict supervision and legal threads of the election period as straw, but a repetition of old atrocities?  While waiting for the verdict after the voting, the caretaker government did not waste the golden opportunity to prove that party interest is bigger than the Constitution. Where else can there be a better time to smoke a bureaucrat and jump out for mere political reasons? 

The people are not turning a blind eye to this conspiracy of the caretaker government, who flout the laws and bypass the Election Commission, but are enjoying a bonus that was received before the election results as a joke. It seems that whoever played a role in B Ashokan's suspension will soon have to face the court.

Kerala political circus

#Kerala_Political_Circus !

Although the LDF occasionally dreams of getting the government, the Congress is already ready to look at the files in the secretariat. Even before the government is in hand, the 'group game' is at its peak load on who will be in the CM's chair.

There are leaders who are looking to divide Kerala like a cake, with one person getting Travancore and the other Malabar. 

Amid the titles of B team captain and A team coach, the cadres are eagerly awaiting the lottery results to know whether K.C. Venugopal will fly down from Delhi or whether Kunhalikutty Sahib from Malabar will rule Alkheralam as the CM.

If you look at this tug-of-war over the CM's post, it seems that the United Democratic Front is not going to get a simple majority, but as if all 140 seats have been written off!

 On the other hand, the electricity department has given the people a shock treatment just when they are about to roll up their sleeves and get out of bed. Peak load management is now plunging Kerala into darkness as if they don't want electricity for those who don't vote for them.

Thus, while the reborn Kerala is now searching for a new Chief Minister by candlelight, the current Chief Minister is making to weep.the number one health state and the Health Minister, by performing cataract surgery outside Kerala

While the poor people are ready to faint at the sight of the upcoming electricity bill, the leaders are fighting each other to grab the foot of the chair of power. 

In short, the people groping in the dark, the rulers who don't see the light, and the opposition who are dreaming of a chair and are sleeping, have turned Kerala into a first-class political circus.

When it is hot?

#When it gets hot?

The Child Rights Commission's discovery that the sun's heat is only intense in the school compound and turns into a cool breeze when it reaches the interior of the house is shocking to the scientific world. 

The question remains whether children will have to wake up at 5 am and go to school with milk and newspaper delivery people to implement the order to finish classes before 10:30 am

Believing that children are safe when they are at home, will the Commission issue the next revolutionary order to distribute robots to every house to serve lunch to children who are left alone at home by their working parents and to keep them safe? 

Instead of the simple logic of not playing in the sun during the summer, it is difficult to understand what kind of child protection is being implemented by sending children out on the streets at 10:30 and walking them home in the midday sun.

 The Commission's foresight that if it is scorching hot outside, it is better to sit in front of the TV in an empty house or in the kitchen, fiddling with a mobile phone, than to sit under a fan in a school room is immense!

It would be good to examine the Commission's glasses to realize that such AC room decisions, which are not based on practicality and living conditions, will do more harm than good to children.

Ritual impropriety

#Ritual #Impropriety.

The act of Nanda Govindam Bhajans, who sang a Christian devotional song while performing a bhajan at the Vempinkulangara Sree Mahavishnu Temple in Kottayam, is ritual impropriety. Every place of worship has its own uniqueness, customs and codes of belief. Any art group should respect them and behave in a manner appropriate to that environment. 

Singing a prayer song of another religion on the sacred platform of one religious sect is tantamount to ignoring the concepts of that place of worship and the feelings of the devotees, rather than being friendly towards other religions. If we consider the possible consequences of trying such methods in places of worship of other religions, we can see that this singing of songs in the temple premises is an unnecessary subordination and a violation of religious etiquette.

This group has made a huge mistake in preserving the originality of the art form of bhajan.  It is foolish to think that religious harmony will be fostered here by such singing.

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.
