Happy boozers of Kerala

All Kerala Boozers are very happy to hear the news that state cabinet has accepted the report for making wine and low alcohol content liquor from Kerala fruits like jackfruit, cashew, and plantains. And ín any case if the liquor made has high alcohol content, there may be provision for diluting it with sufficient water !

Perhaps those leaders of the former UDF Government are cursing themselves and trying to strangle each other for not utilising this golden opportunity. Giving production license to those people who are able to start liquor units, is a money making mechanism. Interestingly, with all liquor shops opened and new brewery units established, Kerala is on its way to stage-by-stage liquor ban as promised in the manifesto.

SNDP - NSS feud

The SNDP and NSS are two communal outfits in the state with their own varied interests. The secretaries of these organisations often come  vociferously during election time and claim they are the ones who decide the outcome of the election, but actually not.  The voters never bother about what is called 'right distance or equal distance' policy and vote only on convictions.

However, while NSS secretary Sukumaran Nair restricts his words. SNDP secretary Vellappally Natesan  shows no mercy in using abusive words against NSS . Vellappally Natesan has severely criticized NSS leadership for publically campaigning for UDF candidates. He alleged that NSS leadership has uncultivated thoughts and campaigning in the name of caste would turn Kerala into a lunatic asylum. But, in fact, Vellappally is also playing on the same turf.

Vellappally saying that NSS action would result in riots, is counter productive. This type of one sided  gesticulations of Yogam Secretary would bring communal hatred.

Chennai connect is a Nobel connect.

This year's Nobel Peace Prize was  awarded to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali for his efforts to achieve peace and international cooperation, and in particular for his decisive initiative to resolve the border conflict with neighbouring Eritrea.

In this context Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping Chennai meet is  of great significance. The meet will give  great momentum to
bilateral ties between India and China. Any  improvement in India-China relations would avert boarder tensions and benefit the people of the two countries and the world. And in that case Modi and Xi will follow the path paved by Abiy Ahmed Ali
