Here are some of the essential issues that should be the priority issues of the government that comes to power in the next election

Schools and villages that are being controlled by the liquor and drug mafia, death pits on roads that threaten lives, youths who are fleeing to other countries due to unemployment, and hospitals that are suffocating due to lack of basic facilities: all these together question the survival of Kerala. When crop failure and price collapse are debilitating the farmers, institutions like Supplyco are selling dead stock of puttu powder even during elections without providing the necessary assistance.

The lack of safety for girls and ordinary people on the roads, backdoor appointments using PSC as a pawn, goondaism, injustice on the part of the police, excessive fees and fines for government services, etc. make a mockery of the claim of a "developed society". The style of government where promises often turn into empty words is increasing disappointment and distrust among the people.

 When landslides, floods and epidemics cause misery, the government's style of making money by neglecting disaster management is a cause for great concern. In a situation where even basic things like salaries, pensions and rations are uncertain, the people are not demanding any extraordinary benefits. On the contrary, they are demanding only the right to live with dignity. The people hate a government that thinks it can continue to govern by increasing the public debt.

The country needs a government that does not suffocate the people, but one that protects their basic rights. The people's hope is that the incoming government will be prepared to take these matters seriously and act.
