Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy seems to think that his rule is corruption free and the people of Kerala are happy for a continuation of his rule for the next term too. Perhaps, he has been helped in reaching this faulty conclusion by the labour of kind sycophants and fawning political parties for whom his rule was advantageous. But at least the Court and innumerable inquiry commissions do not appear to be amused by his ways and has been asking probing questions. First is, his infamous involvement in Solar scam. Next comes the Vizhinjam tender. And also, fingers are being pointed at his and his minister Babu’s involvement in Bar bribe case.
For the layman, Chandy’s rule is a classic example of utter waste of taxpayers’ money in an erratic ruler’s weakness for winning praise and influencing people when electoral diminishing returns have set in. The public distribution system has paralysed and the educated youths have become desperate because of no opportunity. The school-college education is in total dismay. There are suffering millions in the state where development has yet to register.
The courts are bound to ask questions about the sheer wastage of public money. The Dalits are not happy as communal outfits have spread their tentacles. What a pity if the voters of the State are again planning to extend Chandy’s misrule.
