Cross the road or not?

After opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala and KPCC president Mullappally Ramachandran, UDF convenor Benny Behanan has also raised sharp criticism against MP Shashi Tharoor for his comments that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should be praised for doing the right things. Tharoor, considered as a potential candidate for AICC president, suffering this humiliation from Congress leaders is undesirable.

Why the flunkey leaders of Congress do not understand Tharoor's plight to avert a possible fall in the case related to suspecious murder of his third wife Sunanda Pushkar? Moreover, his darlingest Mehr Tarar in Pakistan waits for him for an immediate nuptial knot. Without prime minister Modi's blessings these are all beyond the bounds, Tharoor believes.

So, an immediate return to power is very remote, Congress leaders should think of  acting like Tharoor  to get some reward. There is enough time to return to Congress when matters come in favour.

Kerala flood

Kerala flood

There are many factors that brought  the severe rainfall and consequent flood in  Kerala in 2018 and 2019. On 16 August 2018, severe floods affected Kerala, due to unusually high rainfall during the monsoon. It was the worst flood in Kerala in nearly a century killing 483 people. A report by J P. Alex, an amicus curiae appointed by the Kerala high court, said the devastating floods of 2018 was the result of bad dam management by the state government. This finding is acceptable to the people all around. This year also there was unprecedented heavy rainfall and overall damage is not too high.

It is believed that climate change is reason for heavy rain fall. Though it is difficult to attribute any single event to climate change, its possible reasons are deforestation and thoughtless quarrying. However, the reason for the immediate flood after heavy downpour is the little death of rivers. The quarry owners and M-sand mafia have played foul with selfish politicians not to mine river sand. This made rivers shallow and the the immediate impact after rain is, flood. The rivers are made shallow not to hold water and hence overflows. To avoid such  floods in future river sand mining can be reconsidered

Naked sons

Sons of prominent leaders of Kerala are at receiving end. For instance, Binoy, son of CPM state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, is under threat from Bihari woman for compensation for rape and illegitimate  fathering. Binoy, though against his father's belief, sought the possible help of Lord Ayyappa by visiting Sabarimala.

Another prominent son, BDJS leader and NDA candidate against Rahul Gandhi in Wayanad, Thushar  is under arrest in Ajman in UAE on a bounced cheque case. He was sent to the Ajman Central Jail. A dishonoured cheque of 10 million Dirham (about 19.5 crore rupees) is a serious criminal act in UAE.Thushar is the son of SNDP Yogam Secretary Vellappally Natesan.

In fact, it is a handicap of these Kerala leaders that all their kids are born completely naked.
