Poor power supply

#Inadequacy in power supply

The common people of Kerala feel mix of frustration and dismay over the recent spate of unannounced power cuts inflicted by the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB). At a time when the mercury is soaring to unprecedented heights, these power

interruptions not only inconvenience but also endanger the well-being of the populace.d. Though exorbitantly charged by KSEB there  is glaring inadequacies in their supply mechanism.

Furthermore, it is deeply troubling to observe the partisan nature of KSEB's power-cutting tactics. It seems that ministers' residences, MLA's abodes, and select posh areas are conveniently exempted from these outages, leaving the common folk to suffer in the sweltering heat. This preferential treatment not only reeks of injustice but also raises serious questions about the equitable distribution of resources. After all, if state funds are being utilized to power generators at ministerial residences, why should they be exempt from the same inconveniences faced by ordinary citizens? 

It is high time for KSEB to adopt a fair and transparent approach to power distribution, where all individuals are treated equally irrespective of their social status or political affiliations.

Outbreak of violence

#Outbreak of violence

The outbreak of violence and agitation during the last day of election campaign is concerning. It is the reflection of underlying societal tensions and political polarization. 

People's inability to control their anger stems from a combination of factors, This include frustration with the political system,  and economic hardships, . And  lack of faith in the electoral process.is also a factor.

The failure to campaign peacefully highlights a failure of leadership, both from political candidates and from authorities who are responsible for maintaining law and order. The responsibility for this agitation falls on all parties involved, The  politicians exploit divisions for personal gain, and  engage in violence instead of constructive dialogue. 

It is high time to promote peaceful and respectful political discourse

The ideology

#The ideology

AK Antony's statement regarding his son's candidacy in NDA and the likelihood of his failure within the NDA raises questions about the integrity of familial versus political allegiances. 

While familial ties are traditionally viewed as strong, Antony's assertion implies a greater faith in political affiliations than in his son's capabilities. This skepticism could be interpreted as a lack of confidence in his own offspring. It is a strategic maneuver to distance himself from nepotism accusations. 

However, such actions undermine the public's trust and raise doubts about Antony's ideological consistency. By prioritizing political alliances over familial bonds, Antony risks alienating both supporters and critics. This would erode his credibility as a leader and casting doubt on the sincerity of his convictions.

This incident highlights the intricate interplay between personal relationships and political  dynamics.

Systematic error

#Systematic error

The failure of the Thrissur Pooram event due to high-handedness reflects a systemic issue within both the police force and the Home Department. Merely transferring a couple of police officials does not absolve the government of responsibility. 

This incident underscores a deeper problem of ineffective oversight and accountability within the Home Department, where such lapses are allowed to occur. The government's attempt to address the issue solely through personnel transfers demonstrates a lack of commitment to addressing the root causes of the problem. 

Without meaningful reforms and structural changes, similar incidents are likely to recur,. And that would undermine public trust in both law enforcement and government institutions.

Unwelcome oratory

#Unwelcome oratory

The clash between Kerala University's Vice Chancellor's directive and the controversial speech by CPM MP Brittas has stirred a tempest in the academic teacup. It raises questions of authority and electoral ethics.

 As the Poll panel sought answers, the Registrar's report saying no poll violation in Brittas speech is surprising. The crux of the matter lies not just in Brittas' political prowess but in the fundamental balance of power within academic institutions. Does a Vice Chancellor's decree hold sway in the face of political privilege?. Does the ivory tower tremble beneath the weight of partisan rhetoric?

 Brittas' unwelcome oratory dance on the delicate line between academic freedom and electoral integrity,. The whole episode 

Ieaves  observers to wonder:whose rules outweigh in the University. Brittas is not a 

Martin Luther King Jr. to make thought-provoking speech  to bring forth Indiawide change.

Cat and mouse game

#Cat and mouse game

The scenario paints a fascinating picture of the cat-and-mouse game between the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and S N Sasidharan Kartha, Managing Director of Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited (CMRL). 

Kartha's bold move of filing cases in HCs against the ED showcases his confidence. It might be  perhaps fueled by his perceived safety at home. However, likening the ED's actions to throwing a stone ahead of a running dog implies that Kartha underestimates the ED's intelligence and determination. It's a classic case of the hunter becoming the hunted, where Kartha's perceived safety might just be a temporary illusion in the face of the ED's relentless pursuit of justice. ED is now questioning  Kartha at his home.

The unfolding drama promises to be a gripping spectacle of wit and strategy between two formidable adversaries.
