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

Congratulations Sanju Samson

#Congratulations #Sanju_Samson

Sanju Samson, who has become the passion of Indian cricket, has won praise all over the world with his extraordinary batting prowess and athleticism. His confidence at the crease and his ability to lead the team to victory without faltering in times of pressure make Sanju different from others.

Every achievement he has attained at the international level has raised the reputation of Indian cricket. This gives great pride to crores of cricket lovers, especially the Malayali community. As a Keralite, every victory of Sanju has become a big celebration that is close to the heart of every Malayali.

Along with his excellence on the field, what makes Sanju popular is his humble behavior and exemplary character. He shares his achievements with his childhood friends, his countrymen and even the autorickshaw workers who took him from home to the bus stand and back.

The self-control he maintains in both victories and defeats, and the respect he shows to his teammates and fans, make him a true sportsman. Sanju, who speaks and behaves with simplicity without forgetting the paths he has come, is a great role model for the new generation of players.

He has been able to secure his place in the history of Indian cricket through his excellent performances and his good personality. 

Congratulations. Sanju Samson! We look forward to more achievements.

New ways of public service

New ways of public service

KB Ganeshkumar, aka Ganeshan Minister, has become one of the rare phenomena in Kerala politics. He speaks and acts as if he has discovered a new standard of public service.

His ability to turn even the most secretive affairs of the Kottarakkara Keezhutt house into a public entertainment program is immense. He has found new meanings for the word public service. While he single-handedly completes the love affairs of 5000 women, as a minister, it does not matter to him even if the KSRTC buses in his department run without steering

Even while all this is going on, he knows how to keep his chair in the cabinet as it is. He brought down Oommen Chandy using a letter that he claims was written by a woman who had a fling at the Attakulangara prison resort. He also made Pinarayi sit in the chair.  Pinarayi cannot forget it,

That is why the government is silently enduring the uproar created by the Keezhut drama and protecting the minister.

The government is in a state of complacency, pretending that everything is fine while the state witnesses controversies and strange statements.

It is surprising how the people of Pathanapuram can remain silent while watching the long-running scandals of the Ganesan minister. The people should at least decide whether or not to continue such womanizers' dramas in politics.

A womanizer saying that he loves women is like a murderer saying that he loves his murders.

If Kerala is to be saved...?

#If Kerala is to be saved ....?

A strong move by the BJP is essential to put an end to the Left government that has trapped Kerala in debt and the Congress politics that is supporting it. 

The government that has pushed the state into a huge debt of Rs 6.5 lakh crore and the Congress that is feasting at the national level as part of the 'Indi' alliance despite expressing opposition are two sides of the same coin.

The statements made by leaders like K. Muraleedharan to stop the growth of the BJP are mere political bankruptcy. The core of the change we are seeing today is not the importing of people from other parties, but the common people of Kerala, who are fed up with the current misrule, embracing the BJP based on their own convictions.

People have realized that the BJP should come to power to save Kerala by eliminating the Left-Congress fronts that are mired in corruption and nepotism.  Not only will the illusion of pushing the BJP to third place not materialize, but the people themselves will sweep away the old political styles that have brought about developmental stagnation and economic collapse. 

No alliances that divide the people with the aim of vote bank can stop the BJP's popular advance. Kerala now wants a new political order led by the BJP to ensure development from the people and transparent governance.

Kerals Administration in final lap

#Kerala #administration in final lap

New evidence has emerged that the current administration in Kerala is moving towards its final phase. The Central Administrative Tribunal's intervention in the transfers of IAS officers in the state and demanding strict adherence to cadre rules seems to have given a brief break to the administration's "creative appointment style".

The freedom of the government to appoint anyone anywhere, without even having to be literate, has been curtailed. It is said that a sign has to be put up at the door of some offices stating that only IAS can enter. The fact that some posts, including the post of Excise Commissioner, can now be filled only by looking at the cadre list has become a new administrative experience for the administration.

There are other signs that the political atmosphere is also slowly changing.  Instead of the harsh words that were blaring through the microphone earlier, ministers have now started speaking in a more gentle language. The police's servile tone has changed a bit, which is a great relief. The occasional load shedding and the party cadres coming down to clean the Attukal temple premises that were swept clean are being interpreted as a trailer before the change of government. 

It is very interesting to see prominent Marxist leaders from each district walking out of the party and even the leaders' cadres breaking into their houses to persuade them to "return". Political observers suspect that all this is a preparation for the formation of a new government in Kerala.

Family, party, platform

#Family, Party, Platform

Health Minister Veena George's husband George Joseph has written a letter to the CPM leadership requesting that she not contest the assembly elections. With this, Kerala politics has got a new family ethics. The husband will ask his wife not to contest, and the wife will ask her husband not to contest.

This marriage diplomacy, which officially informs the party what can be said directly to his wife, was also discussed in the Pathanamthitta district secretariat. Thomas Isaac, who is still frustrated by not getting a party seat, also submitted a report to the state leadership regarding Veena George's letter. It is doubtful whether there is a party strategy behind this to let Isaac contest from the Aranmula seat. The common story is that you do not know a thing about this party.

When party secretary M V Govindan was fielding his wife P K Shyamala as a candidate in Taliparamba, another husband in Pathanamthitta was asking him not to field his wife. Seeing this strange request, it seems that if his wife contests, she will immediately win.  Such a tone of opposition indicates that not only politics is number one in Kerala, but also the family is in struggle.

Hearing all this, one thing is clear: the main issue is not the fear of Veena George winning if she contests, but the husband's concern about who will be responsible if she loses. The real motivation for this letter is the conviction that the people know about her performance as Health Minister. 

In the meantime, if Veena George's dramatic performance at Kannur Railway Station in front of the media is added, this political serial will now turn into a grand drama with three parts: 'Family, Party, Platform'. The gist of the minister's letter may be that politics is a cesspool and those who enter it will get dirty.

Laughter epidemic

#Laughter #epidemic

Science has proven that laughter is the greatest medicine available to man. It seems that it is time for this natural medicine, which reduces cortisol and increases endorphins, to become a government policy. Because now Kerala is experiencing a laughter epidemic. From a smile to a burst of laughter, all variants are being tested together on the face of the Chief Minister. 

If we had laughed a little in the last five years, we would not have needed to distribute laughter continuously at inauguration venues like the debt relief campaign today. If we see the inauguration advertisements in the newspapers, they are like half-cooked biryani. When we see them, we feel like eating them, but we do not know what will happen to our stomachs if we eat them.

Meanwhile, in the episode prepared with Mohanlal, the Chief Minister laughs and laugh. Those who watched the episode speculated that the Chief Minister, who watches Rajinikanth's beatings with laughter, could not stop laughing after watching the beheading scene in the movie Jailer.

If science says that laughter increases immunity, then political science says that laughter tests the patience of voters.

The opposition leaders who saw all this had a simple doubt: if they laughed so much before the election, what will they do after the election? The people are in a deep crisis, not knowing whether to laugh or cry after seeing all this.

Here, on the one hand, there is laughter that produces endorphins. On the other hand, laughter that increases cortisol when remembering the regime. Finally, the new message that Kerala will give to the world will be this: Laughter is good for health, but excessive laughter can have political side effects.

There is nothing more frustrating than planned laughter

Mannam Samadhi should be made a public monument

#Mannam #Samadhi should be made a public monument.

The negative stance taken by NSS General Secretary Sukumaran Nair questions the constitutional respect of the country and the democratic nature of public places. Denying even the Vice President of India entry to Mannam Samadhi is nothing but a manifestation of personal political animosity. 

The memorial of a great person named Mannam is not a private fortress of any organization; it is a public monument of the social history of Kerala. This approach of insulting even those with constitutional positions by insisting on keeping BJP leaders away is making the organization undemocratic. This is not permissible, it is an insult to the important positions of the nation.

The Central Government can take legal and administrative action against such actions. Mannam Samadhi should be declared a public monument and brought under the control of the Center or the State. Facilities should be provided for the public to freely enter and pay floral tributes there. Security and cleanliness should be ensured. 

 It is a dangerous trend to allow even those in public office to be banned based on the decision of a private organization. Therefore, this stance of the NSS General Secretary should be strongly condemned and the government should take the responsibility of converting Mannam Samadhi into a public monument open to all.

Musclespasan is a national tragedy

#Muscle #spasm is a national tragedy

If  one listens to the treatment story of Health Minister Veena George, he will feel that it is not the muscle in her neck that has been strained, but the government's PR muscle. The LDF government is playing an absurd drama with MRI and MR angiogram, medical board, and board on top of board for pain that can be relieved with a painkiller. Party Secretary M.V. Govindan's storytelling will make any hard-hearted person cry. If one sees all this, he will feel that the health department is not functioning as hospitals, but as drama sets. 

The footage, including that of the railway CCTV, says that there was no violence. But what the government reports talk about is the national tragedy of muscle spasm. When doctors' ethics and medical equipment are combined to create a drama, what is lost is the public's trust.

 Meanwhile, if you listen to the government's explanation that it has remanded the KSU members and ensured law and order, you will think that peace is enough within the walls of the prison, not outside. Protesting against the government's mismanagement is natural; but turning it into an attack drama and writing the script of the government is a tragic comedy. When people see the health department being turned into a circus camp by dancing to the tune of the male ministers in the cabinet, they think about the lack of intelligence of the department minister.

What people are seeing now in the health department is not treatment, but stories like making chapatis in the prison department and making profit. What I want to say to the allies of the Indi alliance, who are fighting each other and destroying party offices, is that they should not create martyrs. Lack of practical intelligence is the reason for the Veena minister's abandoned play that she can use her old acting skills and channel connections to support the sinking ship and its Karanbhooth captain.

Noise pollution a social responsibility

#Noise #pollution & #social #responsibility

It is not only a legal obligation but also a social responsibility to implement the government directives banning microphones and loudspeakers after 10 pm. However, it is extremely unpopular for some artists and event organizers to question this and adopt an approach such as the whole night program should be held and the locals should not sleep. 

Festivals and celebrations are meant to bring joy to the community and should not be noise torture that tortures the sick, the elderly and children. If the program starts at 7 pm, it can be concluded at 10 pm with dignity. Not being ready for that is not freedom of art, but violation of the law and social arrogance. There are situations where even ceremonies in places of worship can be held after 10 pm without microphones. Even then, there are groups who rob people of their sleep by organizing Chenda Mela and Vadya celebrations. Such noise chaos cannot be justified in any way.

No community has the right to water down the law against noise pollution.  Be it Onam celebrations, festivals, political or cultural events, keeping the mic off after 10 pm is not a matter of discussion, it is a necessity. The police should come forward to strictly enforce this law. Exemplary action should be taken against those who violate the law. Only when the noise level is reduced can the public get peace, the patients get relief, and the children get healthy sleep. 

When there are so many ways to celebrate without a mic, why do some people make high decibel noise and rob the peace of ordinary people? This is not culture, it is cruelty, and society should react strongly against this.

Data Leakage

#Data #Leakage

The government says “Digital Kerala”; the High Court says “Digital Eavesdropping”. When we see that the personal information of employees stored in Spark reached the Chief Minister’s office, it seems that it did not come through the internet, but through telepathy. 

The government is unaware of the previous order that personal data should not be used for anything other than official purposes. Such a show is the number one major administrative reform of the state. When the Kerala High Court said that it was an invasion of privacy, the government replied that they did not know where it came from. 

The data crusade that started with Sprinklr has now reached the messaging system. A one-sided message journey that does not even allow people to respond. Undemocratic digital advice must end. Even when the court questioned the government’s dissemination of information that is not needed by the people, the government’s stance is strange. The government has included people’s privacy in its general plan. 

The individuals who approached the court against illegal data leakage are commendable.  If it weren't for them, the government would have deleted the word privacy from its dictionary!

The one-way messaging system must end. There must be a system to send messages back when they are received.

Malabar magic

#Malabar #Magic

It would be good if the government's new motto was "If anyone asks, we can change the name immediately." Yesterday Malabar Mystery, today Minnal Magic; what will it be tomorrow, "Magic in the rain, Mosquito Wonder?" 

There is no need for a cabinet meeting or a press meeting by a minister to name a brandy. Why a new name when there are so many K-names like Captain, Ship, Kapitan, Karanbhoot? The Excise Minister says that tourism will develop if local brandy is launched. But there is not even a trace of a Tourism Minister who is qualified to talk about tourism anywhere in the area.  The administration is stuck in a single process of naming liquor, ignoring history, geography and cultural awareness, while making unemployment and prohibition a taboo.

We are witnessing the government's self-confidence being stripped away along with the label on the brandy bottle, fearing that someone will frown upon hearing the word Malabar. If this same argumentative logic continues, tomorrow Malabar Christian College will definitely become Minnal College and Malabar Cement will become Minnal Cement.

At a time when people are saying they need roads, hospitals and job opportunities, the government's biggest administrative reform is changing the name of brandy. If this is development, then there is no need for a backbone, just a sticker on the chest: "Today's name, tomorrow's name, depending on the situation." 

In reality, it is not the name of brandy that changes like lightning, but the consistency in the government's decisions.

Number one liquor state

#NumberOne #LiquorState

The government that came to power with the slogan of opening schools, not bars, seems to have introduced a new education policy after Pinarayi 1.0 and Pinarayi 2.0, saying “opening bars, closing everything else.”

The most stable economic plan in Kerala is to open a bottle when the bridge of governance is shaking. The operating hours of bars were extended till 12 midnight as a result of this realization. With the elections approaching, the public is not wrong in thinking that this is a ‘liquid budget’ to collect funds.

If you hear the minister’s explanation that the decision is based on the model of neighboring states, you will even doubt whether a 24-hour ‘welcome drink’ scheme will come tomorrow to boost tourism. When we say tourism in Kerala, we have long been convinced that it is not the beach, backwaters and forests; it is the bottle, cup and counter. That is why we invite you to Munnar.  The government's cultural preservation policy is not to change this.

The biggest social contribution of this policy is the truth that even if the bars are closed at 10 pm, drunkards who do not come home even at 12 pm will wander astray. The old saying "Even day is night in the eyes of a drunkard" has become the principle of today's governance. 

The biggest sorrow is for the anti-alcohol campaigners; when the leftists rule, they do not have any kind of struggle. They only struggle when the rightists come. Therefore, the hope that the anti-alcohol campaign will get new life when the next government comes is now shining in the bottle. 

The government that opens bars without closing schools, fills culture in bottles and drinks election funds in glasses is on a great mission to make Kerala the 'number one liquor state' in front of the world. Therefore, let us "continue as one", become a liquor state!

Age affects intelligence

#Age #affects #intelligence

Former Union Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar's statement about Kerala seems more like a personal expression of emotion than a political assessment. Asserting that Pinarayi Vijayan will become the Chief Minister again based on the information he has heard is not a serious political observation, but a one-sided praise campaign. If Aiyar clarifies prompted this PR work, the picture will become clearer.

Such a judgmental statement should not have come from a senior leader without first understanding the socio-economic-political realities of a state and without considering the difficulties and criticisms of the people. There is only political justification for Pinarayi in the words he said in the name of "Gandhian truth".

The remarks that personally insult Congress leaders question Aiyar's political culture. The controversial remarks that Shashi Tharoor is a chameleon and KC Venugopal is a rowdy are not a sign of maturity. It would be good if Aiyar understood that it is not others who are being made small by such positions, but himself, who has lost control of his words. 

Aiyer's stance on Kerala, which is based on hearsay, is a testament to the old saying that "age affects intelligence". The real problems of Kerala are understood by the people living there, not by the  worn-out horse who come to dine at resorts on tourist package.

Crime Festival

#Crime #Festival

If you open the channels and newspapers, it seems as if Kerala is holding a crime festival.  Kozhikode Town SI was stabbed by a criminal, a mag was stabbed in Pathirapalli for asking for a bottle of water at a wedding reception, and a case has been filed against a police officer in Thiruvananthapuram instead of those who attacked him inside a mall. 

If you listen to all this, you will feel that Kerala is not a land of law, but a kangaroo court. Even a small argument ends in conflict and stabbing. A time when everything from bottled water to shirts has become a matter of life and death. Just as a man used to walk with a bullet in his bag, here  the Keeleri men walk with a knife in their hands!

Meanwhile, the rulers act as if this is not a big problem. It requires a high  skin depth  to describe Kerala where even the police are not safe, as a model of law and order.  The common man who is afraid to walk on the street, the policeman who hesitates to do his duty: The Kerala government is with them!

Should we call this situation where criminals are bold and law-abiding people are afraid, development, or a live telecast of administrative failure? Kerala is teaching a new lesson: to get justice, we must first live!

Split Festival

#Split #Festival

In the Kerala Congress (M) party, the phrase ‘the party will decide’ makes you laugh as soon as you hear it. The party means only one person, that is, the party chairman. The party chairman is what the party constitution says. Yesterday the chairman was K. M. Mani, today his son Jose K. Mani. 

But while Jose K. Mani is sitting in this chairman’s chair and thinking about whether to open the Pala map or not, on the other hand, there is another person sitting in the ministerial chair and calculating: Roshi Augustine. Roshi Augustine is very happy with the ministerial chair he got due to Jose K. Mani’s defeat. If he wants to continue that, the chairman must lose again. Roshi Augustine calculates that the right constituency for that is Pala

When Roshi announces that the chairman will contest from Pala itself, there are those in the party who interpret it as an astrological prediction to protect his own ministerial position. Jose Mani says that the decision will be taken by the party.  The real question is whether Roshi will agree even if the party takes a decision.

The history of the Kerala Congress is in a geometric pattern: split, grow, split again. Now the great political experiment before Jose K. Mani is to let Roshi go his way with love. If he does so, the party will be relieved, if not, it will suffocate. Then Roshi will come out with a new version of Kerala Congress. Thus, history will repeat itself.

Jose K. Mani can experiment again with his own logo in Pala or other constituencies. It is not the first time in the world that a smoking stick  is being thrown out. Perhaps people will ask, "Is this an election or a grand celebration of the split of the Kerala Congress?" It does not matter.
