Welcome move

It is a welcome move by BJP to appoint K Surendran as state president in Kerala. With K Surendran as BJP president and Sandeep G Varier as Yuva Morcha chief the party would get added vigour in state politics when the state is set to go for the LSG polls.

Of late in Kerala, there is no opposition against ruling front. The present opposition led by Chennittala often plays hide and seek and act as B-team of Pinarayi Government. BJP  could do something against the corruption of the government.

There are several  police cases registered against Surendran,  all of which are related to violence in Sabarimala. This gives an added advantage to him beause believers of Lord Ayyappa think Surendran is with them. The infght, if any, in Kerala BJP unit will subside because detractors have no choice other than to stand with the decision of national higher-ups of BJP.
In every sense BJP will have better prospects in Kerala under Surendran's leadership .With K Surendran as chiet, BJP Kerala unit could perform better on days to come.

Membership claim, a farce

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) should be congratulated at least in two matters. The trumping third time victory  in the state of Delhi is the first one. The other is,  the media, once boycotted AAP leaders for their reluctance to appease reporters, now running behind AAP leaders for interviews. The AAP Supremo Arvind Kejriwal is now a hero to all channels.

However, Kejriwal's claim that more than one million people have joined AAP within 24 hours of their victory, is a farce. These missed call members may be from other parties. Does it  mean when a person joins AAP party, his membership in other party, stands cancelled. The AAP leader should have shown sense while declaring such meaningless missed-called memberships. That is, in membership claims the AAP and others make no difference.

Hotel food will cost more.

The Kerala state annual budget has allocated Rs 250 crore for Kudumbashree noting great contributions of it in empowering women. The Finance Minister T M Thomas Isaac pointed out that projects for women are the major highlight of the budget.

It sounds all of his budgets are woman centred; last year it was 'she budget' and this year it may be called as 'mother-in-law' budget. It is  mother-in-law, who cares more the food habit of son-in-laws. This I say because government's ambitious project is 'Hunger free Kerala'. It will be undertaken by Kudumbashree and 1000 hotels will be opened to provide meals at Rs 25.

The implication is: people have to spend more to get quality food from hotels hereafter. The hotliers never consider such gimmicks as a harm to their business.
