KV Thomas's luxury ride ends.

KV Thomas's luxury ride ends.

For months, Delhi witnessed the awe-inspiring spectacle of a single man bravely carrying the entire weight of the Pinarayi government on his shoulders.

Known affectionately as "Mash," K.V. Thomas transformed the grueling labor of doing absolutely nothing. His five-member team with a private secretary, an assistant, an office attendant, and a driver have dedicated their time for the monumental task of managing daily schedule of enjoying VIP perks at Kerala House, 

Mash proved that public service is truly about the journey, preferably one paid for by the exchequer. The sheer mystery of what benefits he secured from the Centre will surely puzzle historians for decades. Surely his personal bank account and staff certainly experienced a historic period of growth.

​Of course, this entire masterclass in administrative efficiency was made possible by a masterstroke of political loyalty. He traded his long-standing ties with the Congress party and associated with LOF government  for a much more lucrative state-sponsored retirement plan. It takes a unique kind of dedication to wave goodbye for personal gain, and then head to Delhi to champion the cause of working class while siphoning lakhs of rupees every month.

Now that the luxury package has been abruptly canceled by the new government. Mash now  returns to the peaceful backwaters of Kumlangi with a satisfied smile. And after leaving successfully  the absolute lightest footprint on actual governance he will start his  home profession of grey mullet havest and wait calmly for new takers.

Echoes of 1979

#Echoes_of_1979: 

#The #Timeless #Bond #of #Teacher #and #Student.

It was a moment of profound joy and nostalgic warmth at the NSS Union Auditorium in Cherthala during the BEST Annual Day Celebrations. Meeting Mr. Vinod after forty-seven long years was a poignant reminder of the timeless bond between a teacher and a student. 

Way back in 1979, he was part of my very first batch at St. Michael’s College, Cherthala; a remarkably bright, standout student whose intellect and dedication left an indelible mark on my memory. To see him walk up to me today, recognizing his old teacher instantly despite nearly five decades of passing time, was deeply moving. 

We were immediately swept back into a flood of shared memories, proving that the genuine affection between a teacher and a student remains entirely untouched by the years. ​Witnessing the heights Vinod has scaled since his college days brings immense pride to a teacher's heart. 

He went on to serve the nation with distinction as a DRDO scientist until his retirement in 2023, yet today he revealed an equally magnificent side to his personality. Stepping onto the stage, he captivated the entire audience with his melodious singing, leaving the spectators absolutely overwhelmed by his talent. Seeing my former student excel not just in the rigors of science but also in the soulful artistry of music was a magnificent experience. 

It was a beautiful reunion that beautifully illustrated how a teacher’s pride and a student’s enduring gratitude can bridge any span of time, turning a casual Sunday gathering into a treasured memory.

Thank you Mr. Vinod

Chief Minister debate & Kerala reality show

#Chief Minister debate or Kerala reality show.

Seeing that the Chief Minister debate in Kerala has not ended even after a week, it is natural to doubt whether this is a political debate or a reality show that is being dragged out till the final episode.

Despite the high command meeting, Delhi discussion, group pressure, unofficial meetings, and all this whirlwind, there is no answer to the simple question of "Who is the Chief Minister?" If Rahul Gandhi's only choice is KC Venugopal, why is he so afraid to say it openly?

The people did not vote for the ego competition of the leaders, but for clear leadership and administrative efficiency. If it takes so long to decide on the Chief Minister, the people's concern is how long they will have to wait to sign the file to build a bridge, start a hospital, or make a new Minhal Magic brandy tomorrow.

This suspense management that is going on now is doing more harm than good to the Congress. The people of Kerala are very quick to judge the dramas of leadership,

especially when the high command politics surrounding KC Venugopal is going strong,

Everyone is asking the question whether the verdict of the people of Kerala or the verdict of Delhi is more important. People's patience is losing faster than deciding who will be the Chief Minister. Therefore, at least now the Congress leadership should openly say who will be the Chief Minister and see an end to this political serial.  Otherwise it will be a great shame in history.

Air travel and Incubation Circus

#AirTraveland #IncubationCircus 

​The UDF is proving once again that WhatsApp and email are just decorations and that the speed of pigeon messages is still needed to take crucial decisions. 

The great truth that the observers came and found after 24 hours of brainstorming is that old one-liner "Let the high command decide". The leaders are adamant that a CM baby will hatch only after flying to Delhi with this precious piece of paper and staying there in complete secrecy for three days.

If the people voted because they were tired of seeing corruption in the administration, where else would they find such a modern way to poke fun at those people?

 Fortunately, this time the observers have a vest left over. The voters are afraid that by the time they decide on the person by looking at the size and weight of the groups and doing the distribution, it will be time for the next election.

If you see this way of waiting for the blessings of the high command and talking about it for kilometers, it seems that Kerala should be governed by those sitting in air-conditioned rooms in Delhi. These discussion planes are flying on the chests of the poor people who voted with their palms only because they had no other choice.

In any case, they may have held their breath until Sunday; maybe that good news will land on that day!

Let Satheesan be the CM

#Let_Satheesan_be_the_CM

​V.D. Satheesan, who led the United Democratic Front like a 'one-man army' to an unforgettable victory in the recent assembly elections, is the most deserving  for the post of Chief Minister of Kerala. More than just a political leader, we have seen his ability to study issues in depth and present them on the basis of facts, both inside and outside the assembly.

​The criticisms raised by Satheesan as the Leader of the Opposition during the last government were not simply politically motivated. On the contrary, each argument was based on accurate documents and figures. Although there was a situation where his struggle was ridiculed as 'Pinarayi's B team', he showed the Malayalis what a constructive opposition is.

His political vision on development issues and the relentless fight he waged against the corruption of the Pinarayi government were the qualifications required of a ruler.

 ​

​Satheesan is distinguished by his unyielding stance against threats from communal leaders. The tough stances taken against him by caste leaders including Vellappally Natesan and Sukumaran Nair should actually be seen as his extra qualification to become the Chief Minister. His zeal to confront the people on the strength of secularism, without succumbing to the pressure of caste and religious forces, is a model for modern Kerala. 

Taking the Muslim League, the main constituent of the front, into confidence is part of political strategy; it can only strengthen secular unity. There is no doubt that the League, with 23 MLAs, is a decisive force in the assembly.

​

​People expect uncompromising action against corruption and nepotism from Satheesan. It is the general sentiment of Kerala that the embezzlement and corruption of the previous government should be prosecuted.

 ​

It is essential to put an end to the 'settlement' politics of people being given various posts through the back door even after retirement

He should be able to ensure that employees from the Chief Secretary to the lowest level work in accordance with the Constitution without political pressure.

As a leader with educational qualifications and a modern outlook, it is hoped that Satheesan's leadership will be able to solve unemployment, prevent students from leaving the country and give a new direction to the development of Kerala.

His constitutional stance and clarity in policy decisions will make V.D. Satheesan a strong administrator. May he be able to determine the future of Kerala with foresight and actively intervene in the problems of the people. 

Let us hope that the hands of the Chief Minister, Satheesan, will be able to put an end to the stagnation facing Kerala.

Useless Exit Polls

#Useless_Exit_ Polls

Exit polls have become a kind of Kudumbashree entertainment that can be enjoyed in channel discussions until the election results are out. The egg, the hair, the tree, the cotton, the forest,  all are mixed together and left on the channel. 

In a country where even the voters are not sure what is in the voting machine, this astrology is being served in the name of scientific prediction by a few people sitting in the corner of some room. Whether it is P-mark or PV-mark, if the prediction is wrong when the results come, we can prepare for the next survey by singing the constant refrain that the sampling size has decreased. 

In short, the only benefit that a person who stands in the sun and votes is getting a chance to laugh for a while at the results of these surveys and fight on social media. These surveys, which the media celebrates as the biggest joke in democracy, are actually a challenge to the voters.

While voters are sitting at home drinking coffee, it is not clear who these magic numbers are being concocted by some interested parties to appease. There are every reason for the losers to say, "This is all just a joke" and the winners to say, "This is the verdict of the people." 

Since it is certain that old survey papers will not even be used to wrap vegetables when the results are out, it is wise to see all this as a 'time pass' and enjoy it. If a law is passed that allows forecasters to be jailed for two weeks for dividing the people if the prediction results are wrong, there may be some relief for the useless exit polls.

Care of the caretaker government

#Care_of_the_caretaker_government.

​When you see the excessive enthusiasm of a caretaker government that has clung to the seat of power even after leaving power, it reminds you of the time when the family heirloom hid the key to the palace before stepping down.

The caretaker government, which is only allowed to pay daily expenses, suddenly decided to suspend senior IAS officer Dr. B. Ashok for the survival of the country! The strange thing is that neither the prior permission of the Election Commission nor the cadre controlling authority of the Central Government hindered this 'necessary' enthusiasm. This government has also found a new meaning for the word administrative necessity, namely settling political disputes.

​What else is this action, which considered the strict supervision and legal threads of the election period as straw, but a repetition of old atrocities?  While waiting for the verdict after the voting, the caretaker government did not waste the golden opportunity to prove that party interest is bigger than the Constitution. Where else can there be a better time to smoke a bureaucrat and jump out for mere political reasons? 

The people are not turning a blind eye to this conspiracy of the caretaker government, who flout the laws and bypass the Election Commission, but are enjoying a bonus that was received before the election results as a joke. It seems that whoever played a role in B Ashokan's suspension will soon have to face the court.

Kerala political circus

#Kerala_Political_Circus !

Although the LDF occasionally dreams of getting the government, the Congress is already ready to look at the files in the secretariat. Even before the government is in hand, the 'group game' is at its peak load on who will be in the CM's chair.

There are leaders who are looking to divide Kerala like a cake, with one person getting Travancore and the other Malabar. 

Amid the titles of B team captain and A team coach, the cadres are eagerly awaiting the lottery results to know whether K.C. Venugopal will fly down from Delhi or whether Kunhalikutty Sahib from Malabar will rule Alkheralam as the CM.

If you look at this tug-of-war over the CM's post, it seems that the United Democratic Front is not going to get a simple majority, but as if all 140 seats have been written off!

 On the other hand, the electricity department has given the people a shock treatment just when they are about to roll up their sleeves and get out of bed. Peak load management is now plunging Kerala into darkness as if they don't want electricity for those who don't vote for them.

Thus, while the reborn Kerala is now searching for a new Chief Minister by candlelight, the current Chief Minister is making to weep.the number one health state and the Health Minister, by performing cataract surgery outside Kerala

While the poor people are ready to faint at the sight of the upcoming electricity bill, the leaders are fighting each other to grab the foot of the chair of power. 

In short, the people groping in the dark, the rulers who don't see the light, and the opposition who are dreaming of a chair and are sleeping, have turned Kerala into a first-class political circus.

When it is hot?

#When it gets hot?

The Child Rights Commission's discovery that the sun's heat is only intense in the school compound and turns into a cool breeze when it reaches the interior of the house is shocking to the scientific world. 

The question remains whether children will have to wake up at 5 am and go to school with milk and newspaper delivery people to implement the order to finish classes before 10:30 am

Believing that children are safe when they are at home, will the Commission issue the next revolutionary order to distribute robots to every house to serve lunch to children who are left alone at home by their working parents and to keep them safe? 

Instead of the simple logic of not playing in the sun during the summer, it is difficult to understand what kind of child protection is being implemented by sending children out on the streets at 10:30 and walking them home in the midday sun.

 The Commission's foresight that if it is scorching hot outside, it is better to sit in front of the TV in an empty house or in the kitchen, fiddling with a mobile phone, than to sit under a fan in a school room is immense!

It would be good to examine the Commission's glasses to realize that such AC room decisions, which are not based on practicality and living conditions, will do more harm than good to children.

Ritual impropriety

#Ritual #Impropriety.

The act of Nanda Govindam Bhajans, who sang a Christian devotional song while performing a bhajan at the Vempinkulangara Sree Mahavishnu Temple in Kottayam, is ritual impropriety. Every place of worship has its own uniqueness, customs and codes of belief. Any art group should respect them and behave in a manner appropriate to that environment. 

Singing a prayer song of another religion on the sacred platform of one religious sect is tantamount to ignoring the concepts of that place of worship and the feelings of the devotees, rather than being friendly towards other religions. If we consider the possible consequences of trying such methods in places of worship of other religions, we can see that this singing of songs in the temple premises is an unnecessary subordination and a violation of religious etiquette.

This group has made a huge mistake in preserving the originality of the art form of bhajan.  It is foolish to think that religious harmony will be fostered here by such singing.

Developmental greatness

#Developmental #Greatness

It is fortunate that the minister did not say that the cracks in the houses built in the Churalmala Township are not a construction defect, but an innovative technology to increase ventilation in the houses. If we listen to the minister's justifications, starting from Kinar Golu to Varagolu, we may feel that all the people of this country have problems with their eyesight. Trolls called Koolippani Rajan are also celebrated on social media

When the miraculous movement called Uralungal is being built, it is natural that the Perumpalam bridge, which cost one hundred crores, will reach two hundred and seventy crores. If people doubt whether this extra amount was set aside to buy epoxy glue to seal the cracks in advance, they cannot be blamed.  We have other ministers who are smart enough to say, "Even if we see a crack in the bridge tomorrow, it is a gap for the fish in the lake to look up." 

The minister who declares that houses leak when it rains is a fake news created by the media is a huge mistake. There is only one way out in the face of a government that does not value the tears and complaints of the people; take out that magical K-nativity card and wave it once again. The mapras hanging in the crack will jump onto the card.

First, let's see how we can plug the leak of this construction waste, which was carried out by throwing away the money generously donated by the public without any criteria. Let's not forget that the ministers who are waiting to step down will not be worth anything in the face of the people's conviction that whatever card they wave to cover the cracks of corruption, it will not be worth anything.

Masked Analysis

#Masked #analysis

The post-poll seat projections churned out by several news channels have become less about analysis and more about manufactured narratives. With only 140 seats in the Kerala Assembly, it is logically absurd that combined projections across channels casually cross 300 seats. 

.

This exposes a deeper problem. These figures are not grounded in data integrity but in speculative exaggeration designed to influence public perception. 

.

Instead of responsibly interpreting voter sentiment, many channels appear to be competing in sensationalism. They stretch numbers, amplify selective trends, and present guesswork as near-certainty. Such practices erode the credibility of media and insult the intelligence of the electorate.

Even more concerning is the growing suspicion that these projections are not entirely neutral. When certain fronts are consistently awarded disproportionately high seat shares without transparent methodology, it raises valid questions about bias and possible external influence. Media houses have a duty to inform, not to manipulate or pre-condition public opinion ahead of official results. 

Stronger norms, transparent survey methods, and accountability mechanisms are urgently needed to curb this trend. Until then, viewers must treat such post-poll surveys with caution, recognizing them not as facts, but as potentially motivated narratives masquerading as analysis.

The polling figures

#The #polling #figures

​While the Left is dreaming of the sweetness of a continuation of the rule, the UDF camp says it will win a century and come to power. The NDA is also the kingmaker by winning no less than 15 seats with the slogan "Government for you, power for us". 

However, the real hero this time is none other than the real SIR. The incidents of the deceased wearing white clothes and going out at night to make friends with the polling officials and casting fake votes the next day were not reported. This invisible control has made many leaders feel nervous.

​

​The situation of some election officials who did not read the presiding officer's handbook even once was worse than some leaders who entered the field without knowing the election rules. That official who spent four hours trying to find out which finger was which before applying ink to the voter's finger must be a researcher in reality.  These people, who show such stubbornness in the name of an unknown law, whether in their own homes or in the office, are unexpected obstacles in the democratic process.

​

​While Chandy Oommen's no-poster, no-pot-and-pan model in Puthuppally is a brave example that future candidates can try, some other scenes were not so pleasant. The satyagraha dramas in front of the booth and the clashes between the supporters outside the booth tarnished the festive image of democracy. The stabbings and other unpleasant incidents that took place in the meantime became a shame for the entire country. 

Those who talk about development and law should have taken care that the enthusiasm of the supporters does not turn into violence. In the race for votes, we should at least be careful that human values ​​do not get trapped in the voting machine.

People's expectation

#People's #Expectation

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.

Psychopath

#Psychopath

In a movement that is supposed to hold its colleagues and followers together with affection, anointing its predecessor with harsh clinical terms like psychopath  violates all boundaries of political etiquette.

It is a bit of a stretch to call a leader who has been active in public life for decades and has proven his administrative excellence a 'psychopath' without any scientific basis.

When such expressions are made against a political guru who has guided generations, it is tantamount to insulting not only his personality but also the values ​​built on which a movement has been built. When this case reaches court, there is no doubt that this young doctor of political diagnosis will sweat.

This psychopathic call is so cruel that it seems that the Rs 50 lakhs asked for as compensation has decreased.  When there are so many respectable words left in the dictionary to express political disagreements, it is pure ignorance to serve expressions that should be carried with a medical certificate in front of the microphone.

Those who defame G Sudhakaran, a leader who dedicated his entire political life to the people, will only understand that words have weight when they are spent on litigation and legal fees. If they are forced to go to court and finally apologize and hold their heads high, it will be a clear warning against such locust expressions in politics.

Nunesha-Nunarai War

#Nunesha_Nunarai #War.

Those who played the drama in the shade of the AC in the assembly for five years are now preparing for a debate in the heat of the election. Seeing this, the eyes of all Malayalis who are going to the polling booth on April 9 are rolling together. The people should put their fingers in the ballot box after seeing this holy war they are going to wage! 

The opposition, which did not even dare to ask the government, which had given a public debt of Rs. 6.5 lakh crore, 'What is this?', now sets a date for the debate, and it seems that they were on some other planet until today. It will be fun to watch this 'friendly match' to somehow wake up the poor voters who are feeling bored with the polling booth.

When one sees this tussle between the ruling party and the opposition here, he is reminded of the villain and hero in the  Thattupolippan movie, eating biryani from the same plate after the shooting.  When corruption and debt trap engulf the country, this adjustment politics of 'one for me, one for you', which confines the agitations to mere press releases, has no more life.

The excitement of seeing the alternative force called NDA growing as a threat among them is now coming out as a debate. These discussions, which try to deceive the people by making noise even though the pot is empty, are just a farce, and the people will prove it when they stand in front of the voting machine.

Kayamkulam sword

#Kayamkulam_Sword

For Malayalis who have heard heroic tales about the sharpness of the Kayamkulam sword, the legend of tears heard from Kayamkulam is a bit surprising. In place of the double-edged sword that was used to cut and stab the enemy, the candidates are now taking out the cutting sword called 'Kayamkulam Karachil' to make the voter fall. 

Whether it is a lament over defeat or a rant against personal beauty insults, the election procession in Kayamkulam has now become the set of a melodrama movie. 

It is a curious sight in democracy that candidates have to carry kerchiefs instead of development documents when they come to ask for votes.

Do the candidates think that this excessive emotional display will touch the hearts of the voters or make them laugh?

Bearing witness to the history of Kayamkulam that calls for manhood, it is pertinent to worry that if these leaders who shed tears without any determination become the leaders of the country, the people will also have to cry tomorrow. While political battles should be fought with ideas and action plans, it would be enough if this river of tears did not overflow the Kayamkulam lake after the elections.

It would be better for the country if the candidates, realizing that a little efficiency is better than crying to influence voters, gave their tear glands a little rest.

Shadow War

#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. The Isaac was a mere advisor of unrealistic matter while 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.

Perumbavoor ilayadalapathi

#Perumbavoor #Ilayadalapathi

The political antics of Eldhose Kunnappilly, the 'Ilayadalapathi' of Perumbavoor, are now a hit on social media like a Tamil film. Anyone who sees the style, glasses and that burst of laughter  makes you think he is the brother of actor Vijay. 

When the occasional burst of poetry is added to the style of reciting it out loud and making people laugh, it seems that Kunnappilly is an event. But the truth is that this poetry and laughter have no effect on the candidate selection. The Congress's K.C. and V.D. know exactly that if Kunnappilly, who is suffering under the clutches of some young lady, is put back into the field, Perumbavoor will be lost.

Kunnappilly, who was disappointed after being denied a seat, went straight to A.K.  Antony, the worn-out lion who has lost its temper. Antony, who we thought had retired from active politics, gave Kunnappilly enough peace of mind just as he pacified Sudhakaran in the Kannur seat. Antony is now the patron saint of leaders who are disappointed after being denied a seat

Antony gave Kunnappilly the peace of mind he lost in his own home after leaving his son Anil Antony to the BJP, which was a great relief. Another interesting sight in political Kerala is that Antony was able to give what he could not give to his son, to the MLA who came willingly.

Even if he did not get the seat, Kunnappilly has no intention of stopping his 'waxing' process. Just as Elizabeth Antony went to the Kripasanam and knelt down and prayed for her son's political future, people are eagerly waiting to see if Kunnappilly and his family will go to some church and pray for the next turn.  In any case, since it is certain that Kunnappilly's movie-style look and go-go calls will not be of any use in Perumbavoor this time, it is wise to adjust for the time being by writing and reading poetry.

Why is #G_Sudhakaran #becoming #independent?

It seems like a new language and a new grammar have been formed in political parties in Alappuzha. Some activists are shouting from the audience that calling someone who has left the party “comrade” is a great crime 

Only comrades believe that the word comrade is so great.  To know how others view the word, one only has to browse social media. “Swarnam Kattavanarappa, Sakhakalanane Ayyappa” is a popular folk song that is widely heard.

If we look at the political history of Alappuzha, many leaders there have changed parties and renewed alliances many times. It was he who made all those in Alappuzha as comrades. In fact, who else but Sudhakaran,  was in charge of the party for 63 years? He was the most prominent person who taught the great lesson of alliance in Alappuzha,  Party Secretary MA Baby himself has stated that Sudhakaran is his political guru.

For some, he going to contest as an independent without renewing his membership seems like the biggest sin in the world. But if the same Sudhakaran had joined any party, they would have described it as a natural process of politics. 

If one listens to this political rhetoric, which is ready to push him into an alliance with the "Indi" party he has to openly expresses his inclination towards the Congress.

 If he needs to stand independently, it seems that the only place where he can work peacefully is the BJP.

Therefore, he should have joined the BJP and taken a strong stand. With that, the mouths of some people who are insulting him will be shut.

In politics, alliances and friendships can change within hours these days. The manly words spoken today will have to be swallowed without having water tomorrow. If that does not happen, it would be good if the party leaders understand that it is better to exercise some restraint in their speeches and allegations. 

The main reason for Sudhakaran's departure from his old political party was not for prestige, but the fear of being ruled by those inferior to him in both education, experience  and service
