The Misiha of the Ezhava community Vellappally Natesan had a photo session with PM Narendra Modi at Delhi Darbar. Interestingly no other prominent Ezhava leaders were present except his wife and son. The Ezhava caste rise in Kerala thus has become a family business by Velappally.
With his communal slogans, Vellappally demanded a greater share for his caste that may include a ministerial berth for his son in central cabinet and a future CM ship for him in Kerala. He has also become a new guru for his caste much deviated from the SNDP founder guru. He indicates that the politics of caste quota needs to be revisited and demands for a larger bite for his community. The Vellappally's attitude makes a mockery of the reservation provisions to Muslims, Christians and other OBC communities. The battle is now for a bigger share for his family members and not for social justice.
Vellappally's politics has thus become a politics of Ezhava quota and if not checked the state of Kerala will become a land of communal hatred.
