Kerala& Karela

Those who observe the happenings in Kerala would be convinced that it is no longer a God's own Country. But ,on the other hand, one would be tempted call her Karela instead of Kerala because the bitter Happenings as a result of deliberate attempts from Politicians to dethrone the present Government By means of unparliamentary ways including imaginary allegations. Some people belonging to the Liquor lobby one fine morning said one minister had accepted huge amount as Bribe and the Minister is no longer entitled to beva minister & instead should resign. There was neither solid proof to substantiate the allegation nor any law enforcing agency or court said so. The opposition and the liquor lobby decided the Minister had accepted the bribe. There was no evidence of any transaction either in cash or through Bank or any other means to Prove the allegation. The Minister rightly said one could find him guilty only when he is proved to be so in a court of law Or he had virtually Been punished. He still continue as Minister. More than 4 months elapsed since the allegation by a man belonging to a Liquor bar was raised. On the basis of this allegation ,the constitutional responsibility of the Minister to readcthecBudget of the state Was prevented by the opposition by staging unparliamentary dramas on the floor of the Legislative Assembly. Thus the state had to earn disgrace in the eyes of the world. This was because virtual bodily fight was staged irrespective of the the gender of the people's representatives. Itvwas indeed a shame for the state initiated by the opposition. The Governor ofvthe state also observed that the unruly scenes were indeed unparliamentary. In no other state or country ,an opposition would have tried to dethrone the legally elected Government. The dramas of Hartal,Jatha,dharna still continues & is likely to be so until the next Election to the Legislative assembly is held. As a result of the unlawful means adopted by the Opposition,the Government is not finding timeto govern because a major portion of the time time available with the Government is being afforded to defend the Faulty & unproved allegations. In a nutshell,the State is in a mess. So what can we call such a state Kerala or bitter Karela(bitter Gourd) SreedharanMundanat 24th of April 2015
