It is very interesting to see the UDF led by the Congress and the CPM led LDF are the birds of the same feather at least in the case of controversies concerning the admission in the faculties of medicine in self-financing colleges. The UDF, which had fought the self-financing colleges policy of LDF and the latter who stood against the same policies of the UDF are on the same lunch table for sumptuous meals. The two Ministers who have bought seats in PG medical and the head of the DYFI who has purchased a MBBS seat for his ward with hefty sums are sailors from the same boat. Now, they have given up the trade on a complaint and all that for the poor people of this State. So my question is: how poor people obtain their medical requirements if the youth leader and Ministers abstain from making their wards physicians.
The relevant matter is, when ordinary people strive hard to meet their both ends how these political leaders without legitimate source of income are spending money in tune of crores.
Initiative of the Chief Minister Oommen Chandy to publish assets of Ministers seems ridiculous when they have unwelcome assets. The acts of Ministers Adoor Prakash and Abdu Rabb and DYFI leader VV Ramesan are only the tip of the corruption prevailing in the self financing college sector. It is high time to transform all the self financing private medical colleges into government colleges. The Government should also consider to start its own medical colleges to accommodate more students.
