Kerala Congress drama

I do not know why and how Kerala Congress came into existence in Kerala Politics.When I become old enough to understand politics  even a little bit,there was only one Kerala Congress.Both Christians especially Syrian Catholics and a few Nair community people were enthusiastic about Kerala Congress.K.M.Mani who used to be the patriarch of the party used to be so considerate of his fellow Syrian Catholics that he will do anything and everything in his capability when some one from the community approached him for favors whether for justifiable or non justifiable reasons.Syrian Catholic clergy also used to be favoured like this.

When I got unreasonably framed by vested interests in a case,during my college days all efforts of me and my fellow students to get justice failed when we approached all other politicians probably because doing favours to college students did not give them any political or financial gains.But K.M .Mani helped us to get out of the imbroglio as Minister then.When my younger brother wanted admission for PG Course in a Christian management college in management quota, his letter could settle the matter.Such small helps is exactly what common man expect from a political leader and for obtaining such favours he gives in return political loyalty to the leader concerned.

When P.J.Joseph parted company with K.M.Mani I could not find any justifiable reason for the parting of ways except may be personal ego clash between them.Apart from giving small favours to followers both K.M.Mani and P.J.Joseph has done nothing  for the development of Kerala state.Both Balakrishnana Pillai and T.M.Jacob who parted company with K.M. Mani and started own political outfits also did not have any reason for parting of ways other than personal ego clash.So there was never any credible reason for existence of several “Kerala Congress” parties.Kerala State has in no way benefitted by these so many number of “Kerala Congress” with several different initials in the brackets.So What if they join together and become one Kerala Congress? Nothing good or bad  will happen to Kerala state and people of this state.Unlike DMK and AIADMK in Tamil Nadu.all outfits of  Kerala Congress is not bothered about development of the State.Probably they are very much interested in personal developments and that must be the reason for continuous divisions enabling every leader to become Minister and thus do what every one expect a minister to do-Fill his coffers by hook or crook.

Leaving LDF and joining UDF does not mean anything other than changing name of the team in which they play games to make money.Both LDF and UDF compete each other in the art of doing corruption or rather money making which alone happens to be the  duty of every Minister.Now this new development of Joseph going to other camp has made Surendran Pillai lucky to become what he was dreaming for years together-become a Minister and reap the harvest even by making the soil infertile  forever.

I only hope against hope and wonder when we Keralites will be able to see a politician even slightly interested in improving the lives of ordinary people of this State!
