On hearing the news of an NRE award to Agricultural Minister KP Mohanan I was under the presumption that it was given as recognition for his leg raising performance in the State Assembly. Nevertheless, I have soon understood that it was for last 10 years performance in his constituency as MLA.
Quite bizarre are the ways of NREs because if one possesses an extra buck of Rs 10000 he constitutes an award and creates an opportunity to sit with minister for hours. The Government should contemplate, hereafter, to raise the minimum award amount as Rs one lakh or else people will have to witness more such duplicitous scenes.
