KIIFB-Debt under the guiss of development

#KIIFB: Debt under the guise of development!

KIIFB, which was formed with the aim of finding money for Kerala's infrastructure development, is today raising serious questions about the state's financial liabilities. The loans collected through this system, implemented as part of the financial planning of former Finance Minister Thomas Isaac, must ultimately be repaid from the state's income. The reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General also make it clear that KIIFB's loans cannot be separated from the state's actual debt. 

Borrowing without ensuring clear repayment planning and financial transparency will affect the financial security of future generations. The public should be clearly aware of the interest and repayment figures on loans, including the Rs 2,150 crore masala bond. If there has been any irregularity or corruption in the masala bond deal, those responsible should be found through investigation and evidence.

 The discrepancy between Thomas Isaac's claim that KIIFB has Rs 30,000 crore and the figures put forward by Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan has now led to a new controversy. Chief Minister Satheesan pointed out that as of March 31, 2026, KIIFB's total balance was Rs 10,633 crore, of which Rs 4,128 crore was the government treasury corpus fund and the remaining investment was Rs 6,521 crore. Following this, the media reported that Isaac had corrected the figures in his Facebook post. 

In this situation, Isaac has the responsibility to clarify through detailed figures the basis for the claim of Rs 30,000 crore and the actual financial position of KIIFB.

The KIIFB model implemented under the leadership of Pinarayi Vijayan and Isaac's financial decisions should be subject to independent and transparent scrutiny beyond political arguments. Loans can be taken in the name of development;  But the amount of that loan and the responsibility for repayment cannot be hidden from the people. To find the 30,000 crores in KIIFB,  it is foolish to look in the torn pocket of  kurta.

Deserve condemnation

#Action should be condemned 

The reported actions of CJP leaders Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka and Ajinkya Shinde, who allegedly scaled police barricades and entered Jantar Mantar in defiance of police restrictions, deserve strong condemnation. In a constitutional democracy like India, the right to peaceful protest is fundamental, but it does not place anyone above the law. 

Disregarding police orders, crossing barricades and entering a restricted protest zone cannot be justified merely in the name of activism. If the authorities have designated alternative venues such as Ramlila Ground, Burari Ground and CBD Ground for authorized demonstrations, protest organizers should follow the prescribed procedures and challenge restrictions through lawful means. 

The rule of law must apply equally to activists, political leaders and ordinary citizens. No organization should be allowed to treat public spaces as its private territory or assume that its political convictions give it immunity from legal consequences. What is particularly disturbing is the tendency of some activists to make confrontation with the authorities and to violate  regulations. Such conduct risks undermining the credibility of legitimate protest movements and needlessly escalating tensions. 

Activists who claim to defend constitutional values must demonstrate the same respect for constitutional procedures that they demand from the government.

Inflammatory name calling

#inflammatory name calling

Calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar “cowards” is hardly an example of responsible political leadership. Rahul Gandhi, as a senior opposition leader should show the  responsibility to uphold the dignity of public discourse. 

Political disagreement is an essential feature of democracy, but personal insults and provocative language cannot substitute for reasoned arguments, evidence and constructive criticism. Rahul Gandhi's confrontational rhetoric risks reducing serious political debates to exchanges of insults and theatrical gestures. 

An opposition leader earns public respect not merely by attacking those in power but by presenting credible alternatives, questioning government policies with evidence and demonstrating consistency between words and actions.

 Personal attacks may generate headlines and energise misinformed political supporters, but they can also alienate undecided voters and weaken the substance of legitimate criticism. If Rahul Gandhi wishes to establish himself as a credible national leader, restraint, clarity of argument and respect for constitutional institutions would serve him better than inflammatory name-calling. 

The strength of a leader lies not in the harshness of his insults, but in the quality of his arguments, the dignity of his conduct and the credibility of his alternative vision.

#Should Vigilance be closed?

#Should Vigilance be closed or should the High Court also be investigated!

Whether an FIR should be registered in a case is not a matter of political convenience; it is a matter that should be examined according to legal standards. There is strong criticism that the state government went ahead with its own vigilance investigation without registering an FIR despite the ED's findings and demands for further action in the allegations against Pinarayi Vijayan and his son-in-law Mohammed Riyaz. 

Now that the High Court has intervened, the vigilance investigation announced by the government cannot be carried out without closing it. The government should clarify on what basis the FIR was not filed despite the ED's request. Since the High Court's new directive is against the government's political calculations, will a vigilance investigation be announced against the court as well? 

The rule of law is not something that should be remembered only when the government is convenient. It is the constitutional responsibility of the government to follow the court's directives; it cannot turn its back on them in the name of political friendship.  Just as no one can be declared guilty before the charges are proven, no one can be kept under suspicion indefinitely in the name of investigation.

In a democracy, the government can disagree with the court; but the due process of law should not be ignored in the name of political favoritism.

Political Farces

#Political #Farces

The current developments in Kerala politics are more than just political farces, they expose the double standards of the ruling class. Just as all rivers flow into the sea, we can see a strange way in which all the crises and controversies in the state are finally tied to one person. 

While the cockroaches and the indis are declaring a strike against Gyanesh Kumar in Delhi as if to oust Modi, the ruling party in Kerala is also raising its sword against him. It is because it is reluctant to go to Delhi and roll out the Luttappi.model with the police that an artificial strike atmosphere is being created in the political arena of Kerala. 

There are clear political objectives behind the moves by the ruling party to implicate the then Public Works Secretary Gyanesh Kumar in a suicide incident that took place twenty years ago.  The UDF may have felt it was politically necessary to resort to such tactics to counter the allegations raised by the Marxist party that 'Satheesan is a Modi supporter'. It is also clear that this entry into the scene is outside the 'legal advice' received as part of it. 

But the problem is with the advisors who give such legal advice. Kerala witnessed similar scenes during the previous LDF regime. Pinarayi and his group's method was to blame all the misdeeds committed by the government and the cases that were lost in the courts on the heads of the legal advisors. 

Many serious corruption cases that have emerged in Kerala in the last two decades, including gold smuggling, sprinkler, black sand monthly payment, and PPE kits, are still not being investigated.  When so many cases with real evidence are lying before the investigative agencies working with the tax money of the common people, what else is the current government doing but ignoring all that and diverting the vigilance investigation into such unnecessary controversies?

The Kerala society needs to recognize such dramas that are being carried out with the benefit of legal advice to divert attention from the real problems of the people and to hide their mutual political collusion. The damage done to the democratic system of Kerala by this political deception, where the ruling party and the opposition become birds of the same feather and deceive the people, is not insignificant..

Street vandalism and court order

#Street vandalism and court order

The blatant disregard for judicial mandates, as witnessed during the recent protests by political youth wings where massive quantities of illegal flex boards and banners were erected and subsequently vandalized, represents an unacceptable challenge to the rule of law. 

The Kerala High Court’s strict directives were implemented precisely to eradicate the visual clutter, environmental hazards, and public nuisance caused by unauthorized hoardings on public roads and government land. For political entities and rival groups to flood the streets with illegal displays shows a profound contempt for judicial authority and public order.

​Responsibility for this brazen violation lies squarely on multiple shoulders, starting with the political organizations and activists who willfully defy court orders for mobilization and showmanship. 

Again, Local Self-Government Institution (LSGI) secretaries and municipal authorities bear administrative accountability, as the court explicitly holds local bodies liable for permitting or failing to clear such unauthorized material. 

To restore public trust and uphold judicial integrity, authorities must enforce heavy financial penalties on the sponsoring entities, recover costs from negligent officials, and take strict legal action against those who treat public spaces as lawless zones for political confrontation.

Disgrace to políticas culture

#Disgrace to political culture

The incident of black flagging against Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and Minister O.J. Janeesh's public justification that it was an organizational decision, is highly condemnable and a violation of political etiquette. 

It is completely undemocratic and unheard of for a person who has taken oath as per the Constitution and is serving in the state cabinet to depute people under the protection of his official position to protest against the Union Minister. Such trends that blur the boundaries between constitutional positions and political interests pose a great threat to the federal system and constitutional etiquette of the country.

Official support for violent politics and protest movements by those in responsible positions will only lead to breakdown of law and order and political conflicts in the state. Instead of democratic debates and policy discussions, black flagging and protests are being organized with the connivance of the rulers themselves is a disgrace to the general political culture of Kerala.

Banner linguistics

#Banner #Linguistics

Even the English professors were shocked to see the linguistics in that special poster held up by the children of Chavara Guhanandapuram School. The discovery of Marxist theorist Jaromi from Kollam, who shocked both Shakespeare and Vailopp(Pi)illi that the word Pookie seen on the banner does mean cute, is immense. Mulakuvellam (MV) Jayarajan, who said that Shumban means one who spreads light, is an erudition that surpasses even the scholars.

If "Poda Poomone" had been written on the banner, the former Higher Education Minister, who carries a house on her head, would have come to justify it by saying that it was out of love for nature and that "poo" means "flower" in English. In any case, the incident rose to international level as the linguistic prowess of those with doctorates in English literature was revealed.  To figure out the grammar and meaning of words, you need a PhD; otherwise, ordinary people will misunderstand this as some kind of vulgarity!

In fact, the teacher who painted such letters on the hands of these children should be honored with a good prayer. Instead of giving children time to play and learn, the political scum who make them hold up such placards and entertain them should be tracked down and punished. 

If you look at this style of justification by Chinta Jerome, it is certain that in the future a special academic panel will have to be formed to measure politeness and grammar in schools!

Ridiculous Stand

#Ridiculous #Stand

It is ridiculous that former Finance Minister Dr. Thomas Isaac has come out in support of Reporter Channel and Anto Augustine. The people will not accept the move to politicize the natural legal proceedings of the government and the GST department. 

When an investigation is underway against an institution facing serious allegations including financial fraud worth crores and money laundering abroad, it is highly condemnable to label it as illegal.

Thomas Isaac is looking for a way out of the party due to recent political interference. In such a situation, channel coverage and media attention have become essential. Isaac knows that if he supports Reporter Channel now, his head and full figure will appear on their TV screens. That is the reason for taking such wrong stands.

It is the primary duty of the government to bring those who are involved in major financial irregularities and liquor trade to justice under the guise of journalism. The state government and the investigative agencies are commendable for their decision to bring financial crimes to light through honest and transparent investigations. 

The government is sending a strong message that the law is the same for everyone and that even big media houses or individuals cannot escape punishment for financial irregularities.

Channel Raid welcome

ChannelRaid Welcome
.The media heroes who sit in the channel room in the evening and judge everyone in the world and pass judgment, only realized that 'the law is the same for all' when the police arrived at their doorstep with a court order.

It is interesting to see that those who openly bid on anyone's life and dignity for prime time ratings and to fill the pockets of the capitalists in the evening discussions, suddenly turned into guardians of freedom of expression when the law came their way in their own case. This small blow received by such seventh-rate media personalities who are taking classes on the sanctity of journalism after evading taxes and fraud worth crores, is actually what the common people of Kerala wanted.

This is a warning to the low-level journalism that is creating chaos in the country by misleading the people and fabricating fake news.  It is commendable that the insolence of these media tycoons has been put to an end, at least temporarily, through the proper intervention of the court and the firm action of the police.

It is clear that the idea that any channel can show any injustice to fill the pockets of the boss is no longer valid. This stand taken by the government against those who justify their own frauds in the name of media ethics is a clear warning to other news channels that are also going astray.

Unfair media actions

#Unfair #MediaActions
Reporter TV owner Anto Augustine's untrue and highly condemnable revelations against Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan are tarnishing the political and media culture of Kerala.

A clear picture needs to be brought out about the secret groups that approached the media with fake documents and allegations against the Chief Minister of a state, and the political agendas behind it. Anto Augustine, who forgot the role of the media, prepared a platform for such fake propaganda and raised allegations against the responsible state head without investigating the facts, should be subjected to strong police interrogation.

Making the media a victim of unfair political rivalry that goes to any extreme to destroy the democratically elected government is a huge threat to constitutional institutions and democracy itself.

The activities of such channel owners who misuse channels for personal or political narrow interests instead of bringing honest news to the people are extremely dangerous.  It is imperative to legally stop such heinous moves that are trying to create a smokescreen in the society and mislead the people by making false allegations.

If the real forces behind the conspiracy behind the fabrication of fake documents are not identified and brought to justice, it will send a very wrong message to the general public of Kerala. Strong legal action and public protests must be raised against such unscrupulous tendencies in the media.

ED's nose

#ED_'s_nose

The nose-smashing of central agencies and the political battles over it have become a new entertainment in Kerala politics. If you listen to M. Swaraj's statement that "ED does not have a nose that is only for pulling Pinarayi", we will feel that the investigation agencies are not coming to pull the accused by the neck, but by the nose! 

One would doubt whether these theoretical scholars are trying to somehow provoke the ED and suddenly bring the former chief minister into the fold. Such provocative statements can actually be seen as a wasteful tactic to excite their own followers, rather than the seriousness of the case. 

In the meantime, some leaders have come forward with a mass dialogue that they will face it legally, politically and through channels. In a system where agencies continue to investigate and courts consider the case, the truths in the case are not going to disappear due to this channel fight and verbal battles. Let the investigation take its course peacefully.  The legal system will decide whether the allegations are true or not.

Leaders should put aside political dramas and rhetoric and face matters only through the law.

#Deadly #Exclusive

#Deadly_Exclusive

​We cannot help but applaud the extraordinary media prowess of Channel Twenty-Four, which was finally able to locate Sukumara Kurup, who has been desperately searching for years by the Crime Branch and Interpol, at a construction site in Bruno. Even the Home Department must have been shocked for a moment to hear the news that Kurup is working there happily. However, that deadly exclusive, which claimed to be a picture of Kurup and showed a photo of poor Damodara Menon, is a major milestone in the history of fake news.

The arrogance of anyone to fabricate anything and present it as a person, and the irresponsibility of committing personal murder without any basic information, are clearly evident here. Strong legal action must be taken against such media conspiracies that set out to catch Kurup and make ordinary passers-by criminals.

The situation where anything can be fabricated for the sake of ratings and to push breaking news is in any case reprehensible. It would not be surprising if tomorrow, in order to increase ratings, news was broadcast saying that Alexander Chakravarthy is running a plywood company in Perumbavoor or that Napoleon has taken a rice mill on lease in Kuttanad. Channels that broadcast such fabrications that throw dust in the eyes of the people without even investigating the facts and basic information are showing deception to the public.

Exemplary punitive measures must be taken by the authorities immediately to stop such trends that turn journalism into a comedy show.

No vehicle modification

#No_vehicle_modification 

The Kerala High Court's stand that illegal modifications to vehicles manufactured by companies adhering to the correct safety standards and engineering norms pose a threat to the lives of the public is quite welcome. It is vanity and financial arrogance to put vehicles on the road by unnecessarily fitting or changing their structure as they see fit. 

Such trends that create chaos on the road by installing extremely loud horns and large lights are causing considerable difficulties to other vehicle users and pedestrians. The fact that society and the government are involved in such anti-social activities in the name of 'new generation' or in the name of low-level enthusiasm can only serve to turn public roads into a danger trap. 

It is absolutely unacceptable for the government and people's representatives to take a soft approach to lawbreakers. It is completely irresponsible to justify and encourage such unnecessary trends of the youth with the aim of vote bank or temporary applause.  Giving unlimited concessions to law violations in the name of new reforms will invite major disasters in the coming days.

The Chief Minister should not get excited about the "Pookie CM" calls of those who are going to modify vehicles. The safety of the public should be given first priority; therefore, the government should immediately prepare to implement the High Court verdict to the letter and take uncompromising and strict action against those who modify vehicles and those who are in cahoots with them.

Anarchy must be prevented

#Anarchy #MustBePrevented

​The ongoing disputes between the constitutional head of Kerala and the elected people's government are more than just a political battle, they raise serious concerns about our democratic values.

​While the technical argument that the Governor does not have the constitutional right to directly summon the Director General of Police (DGP) to the Lok Bhavan is being raised, the reality cannot be forgotten that it is his duty to intervene to protect the Constitution when there is a breakdown in law and order in the state.

​The recent incidents of violence by SFI activists at Kannur University and Kerala University are not mere breaches of discipline. It is a disgrace to enlightened Kerala that the police system, which is supposed to maintain law and order, has been standing idly by while violent anarchy is unleashed even against those holding constitutional positions. The state Home Minister and the Chief Minister should answer for this callous attitude of the police. 

The Governor has to intervene when the government fails to discharge its constitutional responsibilities.​Even if the Governor has constitutional limitations to directly summon officials, it would be good for the rulers to remember that he has the power to recommend the dissolution of the cabinet through constitutional provisions including Article 356 in the event of a breakdown in the constitutional machinery of the state.

​The government and those holding constitutional positions should be prepared to act responsibly by recognizing their jurisdictions, without making universities a platform for political struggles, and to maintain the standard of higher education and to advance governance by respecting the dignity of constitutional institutions. Otherwise, what will be destroyed is the law and order in our country and the people's faith in democratic institutions.

Political opportunism

#Chandy Oommen's political opportunism.

Chandy Oommen’s decision to jump into the dispute between K. B. Ganesh Kumar and G. Sukumaran Nair looks more like political opportunism than genuine concern. By strongly supporting Sukumaran Nair and calling him a national asset, Chandy appears to be ignoring the serious allegations raised by Ganesh Kumar about nepotism, autocratic functioning and questionable dealings within the NSS.

Whatever Ganesh Kumar’s personal shortcomings may be, his long association with the NSS gives him considerable knowledge of how the organisation functions. Chandy Oommen, on the other hand, has suddenly taken up the role of Nair’s strong supporter. This raises questions about whether his support is really based on admiration or on political calculations and an attempt to win community support.

The biggest irony is that Chandy has chosen not to address the serious issues raised against the NSS leadership. Ganesh Kumar has questioned the concentration of power and the way the organisation is being run, while Chandy appears to be defending the existing system without addressing those concerns.

His intervention therefore looks less like an act of principle and more like political calculation. It is an attempt to gain community support by standing firmly behind a powerful community leader at a time of internal controversy.

Rare Event

#Rare #Event

Kerala should tremble when a film actor is said to be leaving the BJP, but that did not happen in Devan's case. Because the fact that Devan was in the BJP is 'breaking news' for many.

When his party KPP merged with the BJP, the question of whether there was anyone to merge is still relevant. Perhaps if Devan did the merger alone, then it is just a rare political event that one person joins and a party merges at the same time.

All he had to do to announce his resignation was stand from his balcony at home, but Devan traveled all the way to Kanichukulangara and announced it in the presence of Padma Bhushan Vellappally Natesan. It would take a political strategist to understand the logic behind announcing his departure from the BJP in front of someone who has no connection with the BJP. 

It is said that the decision taken five months ago has now been announced and that the letter will be handed over soon. In other words, the distance between the resignation and its official document is as far as Devan's actual influence in the BJP.

Devan is now in the condition of a donkey whose health has deteriorated, his bones have been broken and his teeth have fallen out. Actor Bheeman Raghu can also be included in that category. -

Disgracefull act

#Disgraceful #Act

The mock funeral agitation conducted by the Students’ Federation of India (SFI) against the Vice-Chancellor of Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit is deeply deplorable and unacceptable. Resorting to such extreme measures under the guise of student protest is a blatant attack on academic dignity, amounting to severe mental harassment and character assassination of respected educators.

Disservice by the Opposition

#Disservice by the Opposition

The deliberate and uncooperative attitude of the opposition parties throughout this parliamentary session is a serious disservice to democracy and the national interest. By choosing political obstruction over constructive discussion, they have repeatedly disrupted parliamentary proceedings and prevented meaningful legislative work. 

Valuable parliamentary time, funded by taxpayers, has been lost because of this persistent obstruction. Instead of focusing on substantive public issues and presenting constructive policy alternatives, the opposition has often resorted to confrontation and disruption. As a result, important legislative business has been delayed and several matters of national importance have suffered. Such continued obstruction weakens public confidence in Parliament and its democratic functioning. 

It also reflects a regrettable disregard for the expectations of citizens who look to Parliament to debate issues and find solutions to the country's most pressing challenges.

Goon Hunting and channel celebration

#Goon Hunting and Channel Celebration.

Congratulations to the Home Minister and the police for the action taken to take into custody the notorious criminal Arjun Ayanki, who has continuously defied the police and the Home Department. However, the fact that a person accused in 23 criminal cases has been able to roam the society without any hindrance for so long exposes the serious loopholes and breakdown in our law and order system. 

Such dramatic incidents could have been avoided if proper punishment had been ensured in one or two cases earlier. Only through strict implementation of the rule of law can criminals be stopped. Therefore, the decision of the Home Department to equally crack down on all types of criminals who spread violence and fear in the society, regardless of gender, is welcome and should be implemented without compromise.

 ​Also, the stance of Malayalam news channels, which portray even the arrest of a criminal as a big news story like the dropping of an atomic bomb and turn it into an hour-long celebration, is extremely deplorable. Such excessive importance and celebrations only serve to give unnecessary media attention and fame to criminals. 

There is no basis in the argument that the police are stopping the drug hunt to catch goons; because the presence of such people in gold smuggling and drug trade is clear. By arresting goons, the roots of drug and gold smuggling networks can also be uprooted at the same time. Therefore, beyond mere channel dramas, the country needs strong ongoing investigations aimed at this double goal

DBT is better

#DBT is better

The decision to transition social security pension payments to Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) through Aadhaar-linked commercial bank accounts is a necessary step toward transparency, efficiency, and modern governance. 

By ensuring that payments flow directly into verified bank accounts, this policy eliminates intermediary friction, guarantees timely disbursements, and prevents financial leakages such as duplicate payments or unverified records Retaining doorstep delivery specifically for bedridden beneficiaries strikes the right balance between fiscal efficiency and compassionate social welfare.  

​

The previous administration's practice of sending physical messengers from local cooperative banks to hand-deliver cash was financially wasteful and prone to administrative misuse. The cooperative bank payment system suffered from severe demerits, including delayed remittances of undistributed funds, poor record-keeping, lack of proper account reconciliation, and systemic risks of paying duplicate pensions due to incomplete Aadhaar integration. 

Using commission-earning agents to deliver physical cash when nearly all other government welfare schemes operate seamlessly through direct electronic banking was an unnecessary drain on public funds. Ending this middleman-driven system closes administrative loopholes and ensures taxpayer money is managed responsibly.

Investigation is needed

#Investigation is needed

Before the dust had settled from Jantar Mantar, the cockroach leaders were bursting cold drink bottles under the crystal chandeliers. In a "hard fight for the bottom", the cockroach trio of leaders Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were already at the forefront of filling the interior of the five-star hotel with liquor vapors.

The Cockroach Janata Party revolutionaries, who were not overjoyed when Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned, celebrated with a booze party at a luxury hotel in New Delhi as a logical event for social justice. While the ordinary protesters who had come to see the cockroach trio were not getting any money for the bus ride back home, the CJP high command was busy teaching them to "protest by dancing" and "organize by drinking cold coffee".  They respected the open bar and room service, seeing them as police barricades. 

When the team's entry from the street leaders' violation of the law to the five-star hotel room was captured in viral videos, an unwritten question appeared before the public: Who bore the cost of a luxury hotel for a thug movement led by "lazy and unemployed"? How many lakhs of rupees were spent there? Is there any account of this left in the hands of the cockroaches?

The government should investigate this and take necessary action

Flippant remark by Brittas

Flippant remark by Brittas
Parliamentary debate relies heavily on mutual respect and decorum to maintain the dignity of the house. The interjection by CPM MP John Brittas while AIADMK MP M. Thambidurai was speaking in the Rajya Sabha was an unnecessary and disrespectful distraction.

Mocking or questioning the emotional and political reverence with which a senior leader refers to the late J. Jayalalithaa as 'Amma' shows a clear lack of political courtesy. M. Thambidurai is a distinguished public servant who has served as a Union Minister, a long-standing Member of Parliament, and the Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha. Interrupting such an experienced statesman with a flippant remark fails to observe basic parliamentary norms.

​Political differences and sharp debates are an integral part of democracy, but they should never translate into petty attempts to derail a speech. Disrupting a colleague’s address on a crucial topic like NEET with mock questions reflects poorly on the etiquette expected of an elected representative.

The CPM leadership should remind MP John Brittas about the importance of good manners, basic courtesy, and self-restraint in upper-house deliberations. A parliamentarian's focus ought to remain on constructive policy discussions rather than resorting to cheap interjections that diminish the gravity of the floor.

Betrayal by PSC

#Betrayal by PSC

Allegations of manipulation and selective evaluation in the recruitment process of the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) strike at the very foundation of public trust.

When officials manipulate evaluation procedures, such as leaving answer sheets partially unevaluated to favor specific individuals it shatters the hopes of honest candidates and undermines the credibility of state institutions. Corruption in recruitment is not just administrative wrongdoing; it is a direct betrayal of educated job seekers who deserve a fair and transparent selection process.

​To prevent such misconduct and restore integrity to the recruitment process, systemic reforms must be enforced immediately. First, all evaluation systems, including digital tabulations, must undergo strict, independent third-party audits alongside mandatory publishing of detailed marks and evaluated scripts under RTI without unwarranted delays. Second, stringent legal and administrative measures must be established, including time-bound criminal inquiries, immediate suspension of implicated staff pending investigation, and permanent blacklisting of anyone found guilty.

 Finally, introducing end-to-end anonymization, automated multi-tier cross-verification for descriptive evaluations, and stringent oversight by an independent tribunal will ensure that merit alone dictates public service appointments.

Finally, he said, "Don't make me a hero!" Yes, that great leader who carried world peace and universal truths on his shoulders is so humble! 

Is it for nothing that a few so-called intellectuals from the south and a few hatters from the north rushed to support Abhijit Deepke, the true leader of the 'Cockroach Party'? It is not because this global phenomenon has no other work to do, but because of the heat of the Patta revolution that is going to solve all the injustices in the world overnight! 

In any case, since we have come out to save the poor working class, our Cockroach leader should kindly make up his mind to put a stop to the examination irregularities and mark cheating that are so common in Kerala. and Punjab.

Concerning precedent

#Concerning #precedent

The government’s decision to yield under street pressure sets a concerning precedent that risks rewarding disruptive tactics over institutional due process. And that is especially after taking prompt corrective steps, ordering a CBI probe, and conducting a clean re-examination

By allowing political groups to weaponize public sentiment and force ministerial exits, the administration inadvertently signals that policy and governance can be hijacked by organized agitations. Rather than retreating to appease vocal factions, the state must assert its authority through unwavering governance, strictly investigate the financial and political backers driving these agitations. 

Also ensure that institutional integrity is maintained through rigorous legal mechanisms rather than concessions to organized pressure funded by divisive forces

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) demonstration at Jantar Mantar has strayed far beyond its initial objective regarding examination transparency. While the Ministry of Education has taken steps to address the paper leak controversies including conducting retests and facilitating the ongoing admission process for students' the group’s continued escalation suggests a broader political agenda rather than a genuine concern for student welfare.

Aggressive demands such as the immediate resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan appear targeted less at resolving structural educational issues and more at projecting image vulnerability onto the central government. 5uch disruptive posturing would set a dangerous precedent, rewarding agitational politics even when official machinery is actively resolving administrative grievances.  

​Furthermore,  the movement poses a threat to public order and national stability, advocating for a firm law enforcement against destabilizing tactics. Fringe elements and external interest groups are exploiting student anxieties to advance radical agendas. It draws parallels to divisive rhetoric such as demands surrounding the status of Jammu and Kashmir. The overt alignment between political entities like the Congress party and the CJP can be viewed  as clear evidence that traditional political forces are leveraging this agitation to foment unrest. 

In fact, the protest is no longer a constructive student movement but an orchestrated campaign that must be dealt with strictly to safeguard governance and national harmony.

Mammootty should study matters

#Mammootty #should study matters

When irregularities like exam question paper leaks occur in the field of education, it is the constitutionally and legally correct step to cancel the exam and conduct a flawless re-examination to ensure admission to the deserving ones. That has been done here. 

Film stars and political leaders who issue statements against this without any logic are spreading unnecessary fear among the public without understanding the real facts behind such incidents. 

The argument that students' future is lost by canceling one exam and conducting another fair exam is completely untrue. Instead of trusting the country's systems and administrative systems, it is unacceptable for film celebrities like Mammootty to question the internal stability of the country and the credibility of the examination agencies through irresponsible comments. 

It is impractical political parties and movements that are unable to put forward a clear vision or solutions even to the basic problems of the people, are trying to gain political mileage by creating unnecessary protests at venues like Jantar Mantar.  It is a great injustice to society that some in the film industry are uncritically supporting such protests that serve the agendas of vested interests and external forces.

Such political parties and their supporters, who have no faith in the national interest or the legal system, are only using the concerns of students as a weapon for their failed political survival.

#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 when the former genius U. Pratibha was the district panchayat president.  Isaac's tactic of "asking questions and learning" and leaving the place after receiving applause was seen when those poor children used it on Sudhakaran. 

The enthusiasm that Sudhakaran showed to keep the children, who were thrilled by Isaac's words, silent, accurately depicts the stark difference between Isaac, a mere advisor, and 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 this.

Factional disputes in Congress

#Factional #disputes in Congress

The people of Kerala voted the UDF to power with a strong mandate after ten years of LDF misrule. They expected an efficient governance and a credible alternative and not internal power struggles. It is disappointing to see factional disputes within the Congress overshadowing the government’s early months.

The controversies surrounding the commemoration of Oommen Chandy and the public display of differences among senior leaders have only created confusion and damaged the party’s image. Such internal battles, often amplified by political opponents and sections of the media, amount to a disregard for the trust placed in the UDF by the electorate.

Equally concerning are the growing questions about leadership and governance in the state. At a time when Kerala faces important challenges, public attention is being diverted by political controversies and appeasement politics. Many citizens feel that administrative leadership is not as visible or decisive as expected. Both the Left’s vote-bank politics and the factionalism within sections of the Congress have contributed to the present uncertainty. 

Kerala needs a government focused on development, accountability, and public welfare rather than internal rivalries. The hopes and aspirations of the people can be protected only through stable leadership and effective governance.

Government to shield Lawlessness

#Government to shield lawlessness.

The dynamic of a police uniform being used to shield lawlessness strikes at the very heart of public trust and democratic accountability. The allegations raised by Alappuzha MLA A.D. Thomas highlight a deeply unsettling scenario where a high-ranking official, ADGP M.R. Ajith Kumar, allegedly operated as the architect to suppress justice and derail the investigation into the brutal assault on Youth Congress protestors during the Nava Kerala Sadas. 

When top police brass actively engage in subverting the law they strip the uniform of its institutional integrity. Such actions transcend  administrative misconduct and represent a criminal misuse of power that leaves citizens vulnerable to the very institutions meant to protect them.  

​Equally concerning is the apparent hesitation and "hide-and-seek" approach displayed by the current V.D. Satheesan administration. By hiding behind a shield of legal technicalities, procedural delays, and bureaucratic circularity, the government risks appearing complicit in protecting an influential officer. 

For a ruling administration that came to power promising accountability, allowing an implicated officer to evade immediate disciplinary action while moving closer to a top-tier DGP promotion creates a dangerous precedent. True governance demands swift, uncompromising action against systemic corruption and police brutalit., Any delay only serves to alienate the public and weaken the democratic fabric of the state.

Protecting Classrooms

#Protecting #classrooms

The Tamil Nadu government’s strict decision to ban political activities, external cadres, and ideological campaigns from school campuses is a highly commendable. It is a necessary step toward safeguarding the future of our children.

Classrooms must remain sacred spaces dedicated exclusively to learning, critical thinking, and character building. Allowing outside politicians or party workers to enter schools shifts the focus away from academic excellence and misuses educational institutions as breeding grounds for vote-bank mobilization. 

By closing the gates to external political interference and ensuring that only elected representatives on official duty can enter, the government has rightly prioritized a neutral, safe, and disciplined environment where young minds can grow without being manipulated by partisan agendas.  

​When active politics creeps into schools, the harmful effects on students under 18 are severe and long-lasting. Exposure to toxic political rivalries at such a vulnerable age often replaces healthy peer relationships with intense division, hostility, and even violence. Instead of focusing on their studies and personal growth, young students get distracted by polarizing debates, external propaganda, and protests that disrupt the daily academic calendar.

Forcing minors into the messy world of adult politics robs them of their childhood peace and creates deep emotional and social cracks within the student community. This progressive ban should serve as a national model and be urgently implemented in Kerala and all other states to protect our schools as true temples of learning.

S Janaki

#S #Janaki

A tribute to the beloved singer who left us, leaving behind an irreparable loss to the Malayalam film and music industry. 

She had settled in the hearts of Malayalis for decades with her sweet and emotional voice, and every song she sang was a part of our lives. When love, longing, devotion and tenderness flowed through that voice, eternal musical feasts that survive time were born.

Although she said goodbye to the world of melodies, the sweetness of that voice will remain immortal on the radio waves and music venues, soothing and comforting the Malayali mind. Despite that irreparable loss, those songs will become a beacon for generations to come.

Is Kerala in the grip of Drug Mafia

Is.Kerala in the grip of #DrugMafia?

The recent raids like 'Operation Toofan' and the drug cases registered in Kerala are shocking evidence of how deeply rooted the drug mafia is in the state. 

The discovery that drug agents, even disguised as delivery boys, are roaming freely in our school premises and public places is extremely alarming. Even though the government claims to be taking strong steps to eradicate this scourge that has turned an entire generation into drug addicts, the failure of the system that has allowed drug networks to grow so much is evident here. 

The failure of the intelligence systems, which were unable to prevent it in advance even though the mafia gangs were roaming in disguise right in front of the eyes of the law enforcers, is condemnable. While such social disasters are engulfing the state, the indifference and corruption of the previous rulers have added to this decline.

 Kerala is witnessing a spectacle of people sitting on their laurels who were supposed to protect the lives and property of the people . Those who were in the power centers have provided shelter to drug mafias and criminals and have joined hands with anti-people forces to fill their own pockets. 

It is extremely unfortunate and a challenge to democratic values ​​that the former rulers, who indulged in corruption and loot worth crores and have darkened the future of the state's young generation, do not feel any shame or guilt even after many.being arrested in so many cases.

Star controversy: New edition

Star Controversy: New Edition
​Recording a phone conversation without preserving its privacy and making it public can be considered a completely inappropriate act. Talking between friends within the film industry does not have to be official or extremely cautious.

The fact that a popular artist like Ramesh Pisharody misused a normal conversation with his colleague in a friendly manner in this way can only be seen as a personal betrayal. Using such shortcuts to destroy someone politically or personally is a big setback for healthy friendships in the film industry.

​The actress, who was ready to film her childbirth with four cameras for the film, should now suddenly pretend to be a moral advocate and give such a chastity talk should be interpreted as complete absurdity.  It is a bit out of date for those who are willing to do anything for their own gains to publicly hunt down the privacy of others. Instead of discussing the internal affairs of the film industry among themselves, this act of the actress who tried to commit personal assassination in the public should be criticized.
​
The main reason why such controversies have gained so much publicity is the excessive interest and curiosity towards film stars. Malayalis, who see the heroes and heroines of the silver screen as their own family members, make the failures and disputes in their private lives a big topic of discussion.
​
​As for the AMMA, the star organization, it does not benefit the people of Kerala except that it is an organization that works for the welfare of its members. Although the outreach and medical assistance provided to the artistes suffering from disabilities is a great act of charity, there is no doubt that internal disputes within the organization and such controversies damage its image in front of the public.

PSC corruption

#PSC #Corruption and #AdministrativeFraud

​The irregularities that took place even in higher examinations, including the Kerala Administrative Service (KAS), are a brutal deception against lakhs of candidates. Such massive mismanagement and public betrayal took place under the noses of the governments and ministers who have ruled the state for the past decade. 

The indifference and indirect participation shown by the ministers who should have been responsible for administrative supervision and the high-ranking officials who should have maintained the transparency of the PSC is an unforgivable crime. It is a great shame for the democratic system that the bureaucratic and administrative leadership colluded to ensure backdoor appointments for their own people and those with political influence rather than the hard work of the helpless candidates.

​An urgent and strong investigation is essential to bring the political masters behind these frauds and the high-ranking officials who were complicit in the irregularities to justice.

Moves to protect the real masterminds, ministers and IAS officers, by scapegoating only low-ranking employees should not be allowed. 

Security lapses in the conduct of examinations, question paper leaks and mark manipulation should be thoroughly investigated and exemplary punishment should be ensured for the culprits. Only then can the credibility of the collapsed PSC be restored and justice ensured for the truly qualified candidates who have studied hard.

Urgent change in education is essential

#Urgent change in education is essential

​The central government's moves to control coaching centers and integrated schools, which have become a big mafia in the current education sector, are extremely welcome and the need of the hour. The multiple choice question system, which stifles the thinking and creativity of children, needs to be completely eliminated and examination methods that include descriptive questions, problems and derivations need to be implemented urgently. 

A national law needs to be brought as soon as possible, taking into account the reality that the method of studying and writing exams without understanding it,  is detrimental to even the basic writing skills of students. Banning topper advertisements featuring film and cricket stars and forcing coaching centers to disclose the qualifications of teachers and the actual success rate will put an end to fraud in this field.

​The country needs a transparent method of selecting the truly brilliant for professional courses by reforming the working methods of schools and through flawless examinations.  This new intervention by the Central Government gives great hope to lakhs of poor and bright children in rural areas who are missing out on opportunities due to their inability to invest lakhs in big coaching centres in metro cities.

We express our full support for these revolutionary moves by the Central Government aimed at protecting our future generation and the educational values ​​of the country from the exploitation of money-grubbing coaching mafias.

Tears of the poor

#Tears of the poor and politics of the fronts.

The United Democratic Front, which is turning the wheel of government, comes to power under the label of being the protector of the poor, but in practice it deceives the people. This is clear when we see the UDF government supporting the Uralungal Society, which had been occupying public works jobs without giving quotations during the Left government.

Instead of providing better education and employment to the common man and making them self-sufficient, the fronts are trying to turn colleges into bases for their selfish gain through unnecessary protests and violent politics. They are opposing modern education schemes like the centrally sponsored P.M. SHRI School due to political cataracts and are denying the children of the common man the best schools. 

While they send their own children and relatives to foreign universities and large private institutions to secure higher education and positions, they are only providing opportunity for the children of the poor to join the ranks to wave flags and shed blood on the streets. 

 The ruling and opposition parties are supporting the misguided advertisements and unscientific education methods of film and sports stars and corporates by turning quality government-aided colleges and universities into pawns

The fact that no leader dares to utter a word against the Elance-Mammootty, Lakshya-Mohanlal and Sanju Samson, who advertise that commerce studies are the only way out, proves the blatant hypocrisy of the fronts.

The current ruling party, which should have exposed the shortcomings of those who were in power before, is following the same  anti-people policies of the previous government, instead of claiming to be on the side of the poor.

The government does not have the energy to take strong action when poor children in rural areas are deprived of higher education opportunities, including medical admission, or when big business is being exploited in the field of education. They focus only on their own group fights and power-sharing, and see ordinary people as mere vote banks.  The clear proof of this is the free travel for women only in government buses

The ruling party, which is playing politics of compromise in a way that casts a shadow over the frauds and corruptions of the previous regime, is only putting on a show inside and outside the assembly. The reality that these two fronts, which have no connection between words and deeds, are cheating the poor people of Kerala by ruling alternately, needs to be recognized at least now.

Condemnable Stance

#Kuttanad MLA's stance is condemnable

The Chief Minister's stance that no local holiday will be given for Champakkulam boat race is extremely welcome. If such holidays are declared for local boat races and celebrations in each area, it will become a wrong precedent and will adversely affect the smooth functioning and administrative systems of the country. 

The protests against the Chief Minister's stance by burning effigy in Kuttanad without understanding this reality are completely condemnable. The aggressors and lawbreakers behind such unnecessary protests should be brought to justice as soon as possible and punished in an exemplary manner.

MLA Reji Cherian's current moves confirm the allegation that he has been taking an approach that is holding Kuttanad back in development matters.  The fact that he, who is part of the UDF front and a leader of the Kerala Congress, has come out to openly criticize the decisions of his own government and the Chief Minister is something that is intriguing in the political arena. 

Instead of focusing on the real development needs of the country, this action of the MLA, who is trying to put the government on the defensive by misleading the people and raising emotional issues, is not befitting a representative of the people.

P.M SHRI Needed

#Education_Reform_Is_needed

The government should urgently come forward to fully implement the PM Shri scheme, which will brighten the future of students and elevate our public education sector to global standards. A people's government should put aside political disputes or egos and prioritize the knowledge and progress of the coming generation.

Denying this golden opportunity to ordinary children to get modern technology and excellent lab facilities for free is tantamount to setting the country back decades. Therefore, the government should adopt a practical approach and prepare to successfully implement this scheme.

The stance of those who, out of political blindness, tear their throats on the streets against development projects that are coming for the good of the country is ridiculous.  As the children of the new age leap into the digital age with the world, their struggle to keep the rusty hand of old ideologies, is as pitiful as fighting their own shadow.

Those who oppose a project just because it has the name of the Centre are actually harming the future of poor students. People realize that such protest clowns, who immediately throw stones at the sight of the light of development, are making fools of themselves by not seeing the writings on the walls of time.

Nair's criticism

#Sukumaran Nair's criticism is a disgrace.

After being extremely insulted and even personally tried to hunt him down during the election, the stance of NSS General Secretary G. Sukumaran Nair, who is now approaching the Chief Minister for his own needs, is a matter of extreme political hypocrisy and shame. Sukumaran Nair's own arrogance  is evident in calling the Chief Minister an 'impudent' because he did not see the envoys he sent.

Nair should have remembered that a Chief Minister elected by the people has many administrative responsibilities and needs to maintain the dignity of that position. If the previous government or the Chief Minister had offered any kind of benefits, he should have shown the decency to ask for them.  The Chief Minister's energetic stance, which stood firm in his own personality and positions, without giving in to the base criticism of Sukumaran Nair, who is trying to pressure the government through opportunistic positions, following the submissions made earlier, is highly commendable.

What is gender equality?

#What_is_real_gender_equality​?

The financial security and progress of a family is a responsibility shared equally by both men and women. Therefore, denying men the free travel benefits that women receive limits the overall financial support that the family should receive.

The amount that men can save by getting concessions on travel expenses is ultimately used for other needs of that family. True gender equality should not be about giving benefits to only one group and excluding the other; on the contrary, true social equality can be achieved when men are also allowed concessions in such public systems on the basis of equal justice.

Generalizing and ridiculing an entire group based on personal habits such as drinking is not suitable for democratic governance systems. We must not forget the reality that a large number of men work hard, provide for their families, and are responsible.  The government needs to be prepared to provide care to women as equal citizens, setting aside the prejudice that benefits given to men will be abused. 

True gender equality is a social state that ensures equal rights and benefits for all, regardless of gender.

Disservice by actors

#Disservice by Actors 

It is deeply disheartening to see cultural icons like Mammootty and Mohanlal lend their immense credibility to aggressive marketing campaigns that paint commerce education as the sole gateway to a prosperous future. 

By endorsing specific private institutions like Elance and Lakshya, these veteran actors capitalize on the profound trust and respect they enjoy across generations of households in Kerala.

For families striving to secure the best possible future for their children, an endorsement from these figures carries the weight of an unwritten guarantee. This exploitation of public trust for personal financial gain ignores the harsh reality that education is not a one-size-fits-all commodity. A lucrative corporate career in commerce is by no means the ultimate path to success for every individual student.

The relentless broadcasting of these course and entrance exam advertisements across TV channels creates a toxic, high-pressure environment that misleads the uninformed public. By aggressively promoting a narrow set of disciplines, these advertisements actively diminish the perceived value of diverse and equally rewarding fields in sciences, humanities, creative arts, and vocational studies. 

This commercialized skewing of educational priorities forces impressionable students into rigid career paths where they may possess neither the aptitude nor the passion. Ultimately it sets them up for academic burnout and emotional distress. 

When influential celebrities and media networks prioritize corporate profit over social commitment, they perform a profound disservice to society, turning the noble pursuit of learning into a misleading, high-stakes marketplace.

Operation Toofan

#Operation #Toofan

The fight waged by the Satheesan government against the drug mafia that is devouring the youth of the state through the strict mission 'Operation Toofan' is highly commendable. 

There is no doubt that the previous government is responsible for the current horrific situation where schools and college premises have fallen into the clutches of the drug mafia and a large number of eighteen and nineteen year old teenagers have become criminals. The serious lapses and indifference shown by the previous government in preventing the spread of drugs during their rule have led to the lives of so many youths going astray. 

In this context, the will of the new government, which has coordinated the Police and Excise to register dozens of cases daily and has already imprisoned more than a thousand criminals, gives great hope to Kerala. 

People hope that the government will continue this uncompromising fight until the roots of drug addiction are completely uprooted and the future of the State. will be secured.
