LDF Govt Is The Real Culprit Responsible For The Chaos At Thrissur Poora...

Thrissur pooram was disrupted and pushed into chaos this time. Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan has put the blame for disrupting Thrissur Pooram on Kerala Police. But what about the government's responsibilities? Has Pinarayi failed to control the home department which is under him? Do police officers act without government's permission?

The fact is, the Left has a tradition of intervening in temple traditions and creating chaos. They tried it in Sabarimala in 2018. They think temples are institutions that bring Hindus together and it should not be allowed to thrive. In other words, temples are places promoting Hindu identity and it shouldn't be encouraged. They fear that emergence of Hindu identity and unity are antithetical to left ideology and so they shouldn't be allowed to thrive.

Is Rahul Gandhi's Critical Remark On Shakti A Political Message? #rahulg...

Rahul Gandhi's critical remarks on hindu God Shakti at the valedictory meeting of Bharat Jodo yatra is not a slip out or thoughtless remark. It may be the outcome of a realisation in the Congress that if Modi is to be attacked hindu symbols and lingo which Modi upholds and propagates also need to be attacked. The takeaway is clear; Congress won't hesitate to be even anti hindu, not just anti hindutva from now on, if the party thinks that would help to reap political benefits

Impact Of Padmaja's Exit From Congress and Joining BJP in Kerala Politics

Padmaja Venugopal who resigned from the Congress and joined the BJP may not be able to bring a large number of supporters to her new party.

Who Will Win Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha Seat?

Thiruvananthapuram is the only Lok Sabha constituency in Kerala where the prime contestants are the Congress and the BJP. Shashi Tharoor has won from Thiruvananthapuram thrice consecutively. The main opponent of Tharoor in the last two polls was BJP. This time also it is unlikely to change. The LDF has forced a retired politician Panniyan Ravindran to revoke his decision and contest thinking that he is a panacea for the weaknesses of LDF. But that is unlikely to work.

Meanwhile BJP has nominated Rajeev Chandrasekhar as their candidate. Rajeev's profile matches Tharoor in all aspeccts. So the competition will be tough. Rajeev has got deep pockets too. Who has the edge now? Listen to the video to know the answer. Please subscribe the video.

Narendra Modi in Kerala

Narendra Modi was at Thiruvanantapuram today. This is the 3rd time that he visited Kerala this month. he visited ISRO and announced the names of India's astronauts who will participate in the historic Gaganyan Mission. A Malayali, Prashant Balakrishnan Nair is the leader of the four member team of astronauts. Later Mr. Modi inaugurated a BJP meeting which marked the conclusion of BJP state president K Surendran's Kerala tour. Narendra Modi's presence inspires in Kerala, but unfortunately his speeches in Kerala don't inspire unlike his poetic speeches in North India. he fails to initiate a political discourse in Kerala and make connect is speech to local issues

How the Left ruined Kerala's education sector

Kerala Government is now trying to attract foreign universities to Kerala to improve falling standards. It's an irony that the left which organised countless protests against private investment in education sector is now going all out to invite private investors to investment sector.

Left destroyed Kerala's paddy farms and now they oppose Bharat Rice

The Left destroyed Kerala's Paddy Cultivation

Kerala was once almost self sufficient in producing rice. But, at present, the state cannot survive even a month without importing rice from Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The total area under paddy cultivation dwindled from over eight lakh hectares in 1970s to less than 2 lakh hectares at present. 

Farmers stopped paddy cultivation because of the anti farmer policies of CPM implemented through their workers' union the KSKTU. They demanded unreasonable wages and opposed mechanisation. Now there is severe shortage of labourers. Moreover, Kerala government has failed on the procurement front too.

Love Marriages Devastate Kerala Families

A couple Unnikrishna Pillai andh Bindu committed suicide recently at Pavumba in Kollam, after their daughter ran away with a youth from another caste. The next day after the mishap, a husband set on fire his wife at Cherthala. Their marriage was love marriage. Such mishaps exemplify Kerala's social crisis.  Love marriages can't be wished away in present times, but lovers should be fully aware of the tough life ahead, without help from families. Or ehlse, they will share the fate of Cherthala couple.

Unnikrishna Pillai's mishap should spark an introspection among Nairs though it's not just Nairs who are facing the crisis. All communities in Kerala are opposing love marriages, every group resists it. NSS should allow partners of Nair boys and girls from other communities to join NSS. Practicing exclusivity is not advisable. Namboothiris who practiced exclusivity have now become demographically insignificant in Kerala. Nairs should not follow it.
