Sheer waste of money by the Congress

The State Congress is all set for its state meet extravaganza at Kochi on the fifteenth. The greenish white photos of Madam Gandhi are far good for view than the inflexible faces of communist big-heads on blood-red background. This may be the reason for the Congress to spend several lakhs for cut-outs, flexi boards, and media coverage. And another several lakhs will be spent for conveyance of participants in the meet. Most of the participants for the show will be on daily wages. Rs 250 plus one biriyani is the standard rate. And for the public function several VIPs will be transported from elsewhere. The gallons diesel and petrol consumed for transporting ‘workers’ is yet another national waste. The total cost for the all exceeds several crores. One wonders for what all these show?

It is destined that the next rule in Kerala will be of UDF. The present Front has done that much harm to the people of state by this time. The prices of essential commodities found sky rockets and minister in charge of food and civil supplies stands for the mercy of traders to slash price. The elevated prices of essential commodities remain stuck-up at high even if the Central Government has slashed the petroleum price. The corruption in high level especially in Munnar encroachments, Kiliroor-Kaviyur sex scandals, the Lavelin has given adequate time for common people to decide the fate LDF in the coming elections. The sad picture is: common people are left with no choice other than to elect the UDF. And this selection is not based on the merit of the UDF but of the harm done by the LDF.
Why the UDF Chandy and Chennithala could spent some money for educating a few poor children, for making AIDS awareness, for cancer cure etc by dropping the state meet extravaganza? The State by this time has witnessed a number of group rallies and state meets. And all these ended in squander.

The hardships to the people of Kochi will be immense on the day of meet. Many a student and women employees will be stranded in the street due the act of unprincipled people gathering for the meet. The Congress party will lose a little of its credibility by sponsoring a show that requires a huge fund. Humility-the motto of the Congress, is the past story. Whether UDF or LDF, playing money politics is a dirty game and is against common people. More sensible leaders are needed in the top post of Congress in the state
