Defence Minister’s fear

For quite long A K Antony was under the presumption that he was sidelined by the UDF leaders in Kerala. This is the sole reason for otherwise tight-lipped Antony to open his mouth in Kerala against one-and-half year-old Congress-led United Democratic Front government.  Antony said that he could not risk bringing new defence projects to Kerala as the industrial environment in the state in the last one-and-a-half years has not been favourable for investments. But in fact the atmosphere in Kerala is not as worse as one at the time of Antony’s regime.

 Nevertheless, Antony has shown his shrewdness in praising both VS Achuthanandan and his arch rival Elamaram Kareem, the one who called the former as ‘class enemy’ for the first time in the milieu of group rivalry in Marxist party. From 2006 to 2011, the Left front ministry gave Antony unstinting support, is fake claim. For people who live in Kerala, Industries Minister Kareem in the last LDF ministry and present Industries P K  Kunhalikutty are the birds of the same feather known for interest in realty business.

The daring Defence minister of India Antony fears to allocate new projects to Kerala because of the existing ‘terrorism’ in the State. Thus he turned this God’s on country to terrorists’ own country. Or else he might have disclosed the person responsible for the unfavourable atmosphere in the State without sending people for a wild guess.
