No advantage for Swami

1 No advantage for Swami

Corruption can be countermanded by corruption. BJP leaders charged for corruption countering Congress by raising corruption of Congress ministers in Kerala and elsewhere is interesting.  BJP leader Subramoniam Swami targeting Rahul Gandhi for a past incident occurred in the US is just for publicity and for distracting attention. Nevertheless Swami is unlikely to get any advantage as then PM A B Vajpayee who pleaded for Rahul with President Bush is now suffering from memory loss.

2 Foul playby Oil companies

Every day the PM of India asks all country men to give up subsidy for LPG as it would enable the government to help a lot of poor people with fresh gas connections. So soon, a trend would come up that those who avail gas subsidy will be called as disgusting creatures.

Nevertheless, the role played by oil companies in this direction is very dubious. If a customer,while booking a cylinder, by mistake press zero on his mobile he loses the subsidy for ever as the gas booking pattern is so cleverly adjusted to hoodwink the lesser people of India. The PM should directly interfere in this matter as the foul play is intended at the expense of the image of the government.

3 Liquor Reality

Re 'Liquid Reality' (NIE July 23). It seems that  the author of this letter often visits Maharashtra, Telangana and Andhra and enjoy the local hospitality there. Here in Kerala it is not a joke that many families were ruined by the havoc of liquor. The high cost of liquor here is intended to distract people from liquor and thereby to save their family from despair. The data available in this direction shows that a large number of people have abandoned liquor consumption due to the effort taken by the government. The liquor sale has also  fallen. If the author  so particular about the plight of  drunkards he can take them to Andhra at his risk and show them the hospitality.
