Kayamkulam sword

#Kayamkulam_Sword

For Malayalis who have heard heroic tales about the sharpness of the Kayamkulam sword, the legend of tears heard from Kayamkulam is a bit surprising. In place of the double-edged sword that was used to cut and stab the enemy, the candidates are now taking out the cutting sword called 'Kayamkulam Karachil' to make the voter fall. 

Whether it is a lament over defeat or a rant against personal beauty insults, the election procession in Kayamkulam has now become the set of a melodrama movie. 

It is a curious sight in democracy that candidates have to carry kerchiefs instead of development documents when they come to ask for votes.

Do the candidates think that this excessive emotional display will touch the hearts of the voters or make them laugh?

Bearing witness to the history of Kayamkulam that calls for manhood, it is pertinent to worry that if these leaders who shed tears without any determination become the leaders of the country, the people will also have to cry tomorrow. While political battles should be fought with ideas and action plans, it would be enough if this river of tears did not overflow the Kayamkulam lake after the elections.

It would be better for the country if the candidates, realizing that a little efficiency is better than crying to influence voters, gave their tear glands a little rest.

Shadow War

#Shadow #War

Thomas Isaac and G. Sudhakaran are Mallayas who rowed in the same boat in the backwaters of Alappuzha but kept their eyes on only two shores. While one measured the whole world with his theories and corrected America, the other wanted to stand on the soil of Alappuzha.

The self-reliance shown by Sudhakaran, who, despite being offered a big chair in Delhi, kept to himself and said, "My Ambalappuzha is enough for me," is unattainable even in Isaac's dreams today. While Isaac is an orphan in the election fray today, Sudhakaran's strong moves in Ambalappuzha as an independent with Congress support are a new textbook for political Kerala.

​Time has shown that Sudhakaran's precaution of coming to the stage only after asking three times whether Isaac had left was not in vain. The Isaac was a mere advisor of unrealistic matter while G, a pragmatist. When Isaac played a drama with a hug in the case of Omanakuttan of Cherthala, who collected  money from those gathered at a relief camp during the floods in 2018, Sudhakaran had appeared as the true leader of the people, who set out the facts and corrected Omanakuttan

That old refrain of Isaac, who insults film actors  by calling them 'comics', has now fallen on his own head like a thunderbolt. If you see the same people who brought Innocent and Mukesh into politics coming out to mock Ramesh Pisharody, there will be no one who does not put a finger to their nose. 

 When we see Isaac, who asked  to enjoy the breeze and coolness of Munnar to the fullest, being trashed on social media today, it is clear that people are not as quick to forget events as politicians think. In any case, Isaac will not dare to pass a comment against Sudhakaran like Vijayaraghavan. And just as Sudhakaran knows who will rule and who will fall in the land of Alappuzha, Isaac, who went to repair Konni, Ranni and the entire Pathanamthitta in the meantime, does not know.

Perumbavoor ilayadalapathi

#Perumbavoor #Ilayadalapathi

The political antics of Eldhose Kunnappilly, the 'Ilayadalapathi' of Perumbavoor, are now a hit on social media like a Tamil film. Anyone who sees the style, glasses and that burst of laughter  makes you think he is the brother of actor Vijay. 

When the occasional burst of poetry is added to the style of reciting it out loud and making people laugh, it seems that Kunnappilly is an event. But the truth is that this poetry and laughter have no effect on the candidate selection. The Congress's K.C. and V.D. know exactly that if Kunnappilly, who is suffering under the clutches of some young lady, is put back into the field, Perumbavoor will be lost.

Kunnappilly, who was disappointed after being denied a seat, went straight to A.K.  Antony, the worn-out lion who has lost its temper. Antony, who we thought had retired from active politics, gave Kunnappilly enough peace of mind just as he pacified Sudhakaran in the Kannur seat. Antony is now the patron saint of leaders who are disappointed after being denied a seat

Antony gave Kunnappilly the peace of mind he lost in his own home after leaving his son Anil Antony to the BJP, which was a great relief. Another interesting sight in political Kerala is that Antony was able to give what he could not give to his son, to the MLA who came willingly.

Even if he did not get the seat, Kunnappilly has no intention of stopping his 'waxing' process. Just as Elizabeth Antony went to the Kripasanam and knelt down and prayed for her son's political future, people are eagerly waiting to see if Kunnappilly and his family will go to some church and pray for the next turn.  In any case, since it is certain that Kunnappilly's movie-style look and go-go calls will not be of any use in Perumbavoor this time, it is wise to adjust for the time being by writing and reading poetry.

Why is #G_Sudhakaran #becoming #independent?

It seems like a new language and a new grammar have been formed in political parties in Alappuzha. Some activists are shouting from the audience that calling someone who has left the party “comrade” is a great crime 

Only comrades believe that the word comrade is so great.  To know how others view the word, one only has to browse social media. “Swarnam Kattavanarappa, Sakhakalanane Ayyappa” is a popular folk song that is widely heard.

If we look at the political history of Alappuzha, many leaders there have changed parties and renewed alliances many times. It was he who made all those in Alappuzha as comrades. In fact, who else but Sudhakaran,  was in charge of the party for 63 years? He was the most prominent person who taught the great lesson of alliance in Alappuzha,  Party Secretary MA Baby himself has stated that Sudhakaran is his political guru.

For some, he going to contest as an independent without renewing his membership seems like the biggest sin in the world. But if the same Sudhakaran had joined any party, they would have described it as a natural process of politics. 

If one listens to this political rhetoric, which is ready to push him into an alliance with the "Indi" party he has to openly expresses his inclination towards the Congress.

 If he needs to stand independently, it seems that the only place where he can work peacefully is the BJP.

Therefore, he should have joined the BJP and taken a strong stand. With that, the mouths of some people who are insulting him will be shut.

In politics, alliances and friendships can change within hours these days. The manly words spoken today will have to be swallowed without having water tomorrow. If that does not happen, it would be good if the party leaders understand that it is better to exercise some restraint in their speeches and allegations. 

The main reason for Sudhakaran's departure from his old political party was not for prestige, but the fear of being ruled by those inferior to him in both education, experience  and service

New ways of public service

New ways of public service

KB Ganeshkumar, aka Ganeshan Minister, has become one of the rare phenomena in Kerala politics. He speaks and acts as if he has discovered a new standard of public service.

His ability to turn even the most secretive affairs of the Kottarakkara Keezhutt house into a public entertainment program is immense. He has found new meanings for the word public service. While he single-handedly completes the love affairs of 5000 women, as a minister, it does not matter to him even if the KSRTC buses in his department run without steering

Even while all this is going on, he knows how to keep his chair in the cabinet as it is. He brought down Oommen Chandy using a letter that he claims was written by a woman who had a fling at the Attakulangara prison resort. He also made Pinarayi sit in the chair.  Pinarayi cannot forget it,

That is why the government is silently enduring the uproar created by the Keezhut drama and protecting the minister.

The government is in a state of complacency, pretending that everything is fine while the state witnesses controversies and strange statements.

It is surprising how the people of Pathanapuram can remain silent while watching the long-running scandals of the Ganesan minister. The people should at least decide whether or not to continue such womanizers' dramas in politics.

A womanizer saying that he loves women is like a murderer saying that he loves his murders.

If Kerala is to be saved...?

#If Kerala is to be saved ....?

A strong move by the BJP is essential to put an end to the Left government that has trapped Kerala in debt and the Congress politics that is supporting it. 

The government that has pushed the state into a huge debt of Rs 6.5 lakh crore and the Congress that is feasting at the national level as part of the 'Indi' alliance despite expressing opposition are two sides of the same coin.

The statements made by leaders like K. Muraleedharan to stop the growth of the BJP are mere political bankruptcy. The core of the change we are seeing today is not the importing of people from other parties, but the common people of Kerala, who are fed up with the current misrule, embracing the BJP based on their own convictions.

People have realized that the BJP should come to power to save Kerala by eliminating the Left-Congress fronts that are mired in corruption and nepotism.  Not only will the illusion of pushing the BJP to third place not materialize, but the people themselves will sweep away the old political styles that have brought about developmental stagnation and economic collapse. 

No alliances that divide the people with the aim of vote bank can stop the BJP's popular advance. Kerala now wants a new political order led by the BJP to ensure development from the people and transparent governance.
