Hide and Seek

#Hide and Seek

The recent unanimous resolution by the Kerala Assembly, calling for the immediate withdrawal of the draft UGC norms and insisting on central-state consultation, starkly highlights the camaraderie between the ruling CPM-led front and the Congress-led opposition. The fact that both sides came together so seamlessly for a cause suggests a hidden, unspoken understanding between them. 

However, while they present a united front on such matters, the people are left to suffer under the weight of unresolved scandals and corruption. The opposition's support of the ruling front in this instance is merely a façade, concealing their reluctance to confront the real issues plaguing the state.

Simultaneously, the Congress-led opposition’s criticisms of the Kerala CM over the Palakkad brewery license scam and the PPE kit scam ring hollow. Their rhetoric appears more for show than genuine action. The absence of effective protest or meaningful intervention indicates a deliberate avoidance of conflict, allowing the ruling front to operate with impunity. This lack of opposition is a betrayal to the people, who are being deceived by both sides, as corruption flourishes and accountability is non-existent. 

The political theater playing out in Kerala is nothing but a hide-and-seek game, with both parties colluding to maintain power and suppress the truth.
