Chennithala’s ‘thara ‘formula.

After Lagrange’s interpolation formula one of the well known formulae is Chennithala formula for granting licence to 67 bars out of 418 bars which were denied licence by the honourable HC. Chennithala put up the formula that among the 418 bars, 67 bars come under the category of two star hotels and should be given the licence to open and a district collector led committee should inspect the quality of the other bars and those found wanting in facilities should be given a reasonable time frame to get things in order. This in effect is overriding the court verdict  and it will pressurise district collectors in taking decisions.
So in this regard KPCC President V.M Sudheeran’s stand that he could not agree with the formula mooted by Chennithala is bold and is in favour of the wishes of common people of the state. The UDF is on the way for a consensus and it should be for not opening these bars. The Chennithala formula is a ‘thara’ formula and this formula together with  other similar formulae should be outrightly rejected.

Any action to help people to stand on two legs rather than on four legs is good for the entire people of the state.

Standard bar.

The sky will not fall if boozers of Kerala wait for some more time infront of Beverages outlets for their share. The K P C C President V M Sudheeran may be congratulated for his firm stand on the issue of liquor bar licences. It is not the SNDP, KCBC or the Muslim outfits to decide the Kerala liquor policy. The Yogam secretary’s comment that it is not the ministers but the KPCC president runs the government is a good compliment to Sudheeran, nevertheless, it demands no reply

.

KPCC president V.M. Sudheeran insisting on a policy that would reduce the number of liquor bars is in accordance with Congress party’s proclaimed policy of abstinence. Then why the Excise Minister and others think in a different line to give opportunity to bar owners to improve their standards within a stipulated time. What is after all the standard of a bar? Does it mean that in bar of high standard a boozer get it straightly to his mouth and not through glass?

No bar license, please

Seemingly the only major problem the UDF Government now faces in Kerala is the issue of allotting temporary licences to 418 bars in the state that were closed three weeks ago. Congress leaders like Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala, KPCC vice president V.D. Satheesan and Excise Minister K. Babu  who speak mouthful against anti-liquor policy, standing together opposing V M Sudheeran, is amazing.

It is known that the  Minister K Babu always speaks in favour of Abkaris and his opinion in this direction is one sided. At present without 418 bars all the boozers get sufficient liquor and there is no decrease in State revenue by way of selling liquor. Then why this haste from others including Chief Minister in settling the issue? So in that context Sudheeran's  stand that no bar licences should be renewed unless required standard is met, is correct.

Front page for good news.

It is of bad precedence to see ‘Total 4 U scam’ prime accused Sabarinath on the front page of NIE. This fellow is out and out a cheat who looted several crores in collusion with some bigwigs in Kerala politics.   Fugitive life of this guy for over three years was gone off in connivance with his political god fathers for which our investigating agencies were mute spectators.  Presumably this guy had received continuous messages from persons in Kerala who shared part of the money he looted.

A fraud with as many as 34 cases registered against and who swindled money   in tune with Rs 200 is a fit person for severe imprisonment. The news item about him should be put in some remote corners of our esteemed daily. The front page of the daily should be reserved for some good news.

For a buck

Boby Chemmannur in Kerala has created an artificial wave with his ‘hard earned’money. There is a huge gathering for his State wide run. The media have been profusely benefited with Chemmannur run. Likewise Modi wave is an artificial wave created with money augmented from unknown sources. Spending several crores for his holographic image projection is a colossal waste when the pathetic state of the poor people of this country is considered.  Seemingly, the media, newspapers, event managers and multitude have been purchased  by NaMo men.

Modi in 3D

 

The UK company Musion has done a good business with Modi in 3D. Modi has appeared in holographi 3D before voters in several places to create a big visual impact, It is seemingly an exercise akin to ‘India shining’ performed by the BJP a few yers back.

The tall holographic images of Modi  were  projected simultaneously in various cities to make it easier for Modi to get his message across to more people without a physical presence. The idea  is a novel one for people other than  scientific community. The public impact of this innovation would be that of a magic and it is unwise to think that BJP get any adavntage over the Congress with this magic. People will watch this as a joke. So it is doubtful that Modi’s holographic projection campaign would bring any additional votes.

It is said that in the 3D projection, Modi walked onto the dais, sat on a chair, and even sipped water a few times, in order to create the impression that the projection was almost the real thing. And in the real world what is likely to happen after election  is Modi gasping for  water several times. And for that we have to wait until May 16! The NDA should remember that “too many cooks spoil the broth”.

Pawar to swallow his words.

The NCP leader Sharad Pawar comparing Modi to Hitler is gratuitous. What provoked Pawar to say like this is resulted from fear of defeat in the election. Everyone knows what happened to India during the 54 year rule of the Congress where Pawar was a part for most of the time.

Pawar, for quite long, was trying to jump out of the UPA to join the NDA , but Shiv Sena prevented. Now he has no other alternative other than abuse Modi and his party. Nevertheless if chance for a berth in Modi cabinet occurs Pawar will swallow his words and join the NDA as Agriculture Minister, for helping himself and his relatives!

Is Mamta the State?

Louis the Fourteenth, King of France is known for his famous quote 'État, c'est Moi!’ (I am The State!). This quotation is becoming more and more contested by historians because his reign was marked by huge steps in public rights. During his reign he imposed more restrictions on the people. Likewise the Chief Minister of W Bengal is quoting “ I am the State” by disobeying  Election Commission’s order to transfer officials on election duty. The Commission has removed seven of the election officials, including two additional district magistrates from their post but the CM is hesitant to comply.  

 As regards the posting of the poll officers and their shifting, the power is vested with the Commission and the only option for Mamta is to obey the Commission order. Mamta has no right to challenge the Commission.  Her statement:"Put me in jail. I will not remove a single officer as chief minister" is akin to King Louis XIV quote. Mamta should understand that after announcement of election, all election officers and police officers under the Representation of the People Act come under the superintendence, direction and control of the Election Commission and not under the Chief Minitster.

Mamta Banerji’s stand is unwarranted and hence punishable under the Representation of the People Act. What Mamta said is against the Constitution as she is “not the State”.

Bad practice by Lieutenant colonel.(Actor campaign)

The lieutenant colonel of Indian Army Mohanlal asking votes for ‘AMMA’ president Innocent is a bad practice and in this respect I endorse the words of KPCC President V M Sudheeran. The Army personnel showing interest in direct politics is not good. Sudheeran asked Lal to step aside from campaigning for Innocent in Chalkkudi. However this doesn’t imply that the Congress leader P C Chacko is an eligible candidate for a win. Chacko was the Parliamentary committee leader who played all the tricks to hide the 2G scam.

The Malayalam cinema men, especially those under the title “AMMA” are a set who keep special interest in their personal motives. The act of actor Mohanlal, who is known for his ease with  Congress party, now asking vote for a pro-Marxist candidate is conspicuous. The actor should abstain from direct politics as long as he is attached to the Indian Army.

What an idea, Sirjee!

While most of the top Congress leaders are abstaining from contesting the elections for fear of failure, defence minister AK Antony is hinting at the possibility of forming a fresh secular front with the Left to keep the BJP out of power. If Congress leaders are true to their secular credentials they should stop practising communal appeasement. Antony is asking the CPI(M) in Kerala to stop opposing the Congress; the Congress can return the favour. Making agreements with everyone to remain in power is a misguided move.

Old man’s pleasure

The court procedure is a cumbersome process for majority of the public and hence they try to opt out from it by all means. However, for the 90 plus leader of Opposition in Kerala, court proceedings are a matter of ecstasy.  He now approached the Kerala High Court seeking a CBI probe into the Solar Panel cheating case, in which Saritha Nair and Biju Radhakrishnan are the key accused. Achuthanandan also sought investigations by the Enforcement Directorate, the Corporate Affairs Department and the Income Tax Department into the source of the income of the accused persons.

One wonders why there is none other than Achuthanandan in the Marxist party to file case in a judicial forum, when there is no dearth for Central and State Committee members who are much younger than the veteran leader. It is not the petitioner but his counsel decides the course of a petition in the court.  Then, why the party still disturb the ‘grand old man’( courtesy Yogam Sceretary)  with all sleaze cases and legal trials?

Bizarre politicians.

Now only I understood the reason for the group rivalry of Congress party in Kerala. It was Madhusudan Mistry, the Congress candidate against Narendra Modi at Vadodara was the High Command representative in Kerala to take care of the party.

What Mistry did is enjoyable for a few moments. When all streets in Gujarat are reserved for Modi posters what Mistry could do other than fixing his poster on Modi posters? It is the duty of the Election Commission of India to provide some space for fixing Mistry posters.  Nevertheless, action of Mistry is  a disrespect to our democracy. When the leaders are corrupt and barefaced, what could one expect from chaps down the line?  And it is a matter of relief that Mistry, who was detained by the Modi police,   has been released on bail.

It is also interesting to see that Mistry is the person who taught  Rahul Gandhi the way to become a great leader. This implies that poor students have studied under very poor teachers. Bizarre are the ways of politicians in the country of greatest democracy.

Boby-Maradonna run for gold.

Boby-Maradonna- Chemmanur  is not only a good gold merchant but a good runner also. If identified his talent a little earlier the country might have secured 2-3 gold medals in the International Olympics.  Boby’s run for the mission to create the world's largest blood bank is encouraging, nevertheless the feasibility of implementing the scheme is at stake. Those who register on line as blood donors will not be available at needs.  What I mean is: his run for the cause ‘ give blood, save lives’ and for creating the world’s largest blood bank,  is not meant for saving anybody’s life but to save himself, his gold business.

Mr Chemmanur in October 2012 had brought in Argentine football legend Diego Maradona as the brand ambassador of his jewelry in Kerala. Maradona inaugurated his Kannur showroom and a helicopter service, attracting huge crowd. Chemmanur  then offered  Boby - Maradona collection at his jewelry shops, giving an image that Mardonna is one of the sons of an Argentine goldsmith.  It was also heard that Boby Chemmanur was  in talks with another  Argentine footballer Lionel Messi to open a gold shop Boby-Messi collection. As Messi was very with his sports and unwilling to sponsor any unscrupulous gold vendor for a few bucks it has not been worked.

So, Chemmannur  with his ‘simple ancient’ attire ‘ chatta and mundu’ played ‘marvellous’ football against Mardonna in channels and now organized state-length run by spending a bit from his huge profit. And one would be stunned to see how Boby-Maradonna Chemmannur outshines all candidates for election when political parties are desperately doing hard work to take people to polling booths. Channels spend more time for Bobby-Maradonna run advertisement than Parliament election news.

How a self acclaimed gentleman ‘ caring the poor and the disabled’ could spend extravagantly in 600 km run for no cause though he says ‘ give blood, save lives’ ?
