CPM was playing spooky. They spew fire against a group to get adoration from another group which is against the first group. This kind of approach may not work in Kerala where the people are more educated. Mr.Pinarayi is entangled in a serious corruption charge. Several top leaders are involved in many mafia dealings. They collected crores of rupees from mafia and later returned it without any shame. Instead of punishing the leader they tried to white-wash the deal. Let CPM note that in the present day of internet they can not hide matters from people beyond a limit. CPM was very arrogant to deal with the partners in the front. They tried to eliminate small parties from political scene in a planned process. That is against coalition ethics. Overconfidence, arrogance and pride will lead to down fall. Their explicit alliance with a terrorist will make a scar difficult to heal. Let them note that the cadres cannot be inspired with slogans and money power. Let them be transparent to the people and the cadre. They cannot practice 'dictatorship of proletariat' within the constitution of India. Try to formulate party mechanisms in line with spirit of our constitution. It seems the Politburo and the state committee are misusing the mechanisms to protect and hide the offender. It will not work any more. CPM fail to project their ideologies with reference to Indian context. Instead they preach capitalism and SEZ act. Doubt the leaders involve in a conspiracy!!
This is the failure of Indian democracy wherein it is clearly understood that there will be hung parliament prediction from the last one year. Every party leader is a fool to think that they will get majority. I am writing a book "A Political disaster called "India" and have already got permission for the same. The country is heading towards chaos and nobody understands this. The regional feelings have become so strong that the US will try to split us into nations. There is no strong central government. People are completely confused about voting. Many have left for villages and native places. The voting percentage may be 40 to 50% at the most due to heat. There should be some sense to avoid election during Indian Summer which is the worst and as at present the temperature in a coastal city like Mumbai is around 40 degrees Celsius. many will not come under this spell of heat wave throughout the country. A sad period in the greatest democracy of the world which is deteriorating each day.
Pinarayi aims two birds in a single shot by making LDF fail in Kerala and make his arch rival in his party, V. S. Achuthanan ( as present chief minister)responsible for the debacle in Kerala, and put his men as Chief minister and same time to win in Ponnani seat alone with the help of Abdul nassar Madani and proove his policy in Ponnani won.
Dynastic & dictatorial parties r disaster for democracy. Hence we should not vote for parties like Congress, BSP, SP, RJD, DMK, AIDMK, BJD, Shiv Sena, Akali Dal, JD(S), LJP, RLD, PMK, TC, NCP, TDP etc.
These parties r meant for the betterment of their leaders and leaders' families only. For example, despite repeated failure of Rahul to get votes for Congress in assembly elections to UP, Gujrat, K'taka etc, he is being promoted. Is there no other young Congressman to do electioneering? Concern for other problems is a secondary issue. Noone in these parties r allowed to air their views, which don't match with the leaders' views nor they r allowed to criticise the leaders or leaders' relatives. There is no internal democracy in these parties.

How do you expect the Congress party to survive the individual ambitions of it's umpteen 'leaders' if the party were to put an end to it's obsession with the 'dynasty' ?
Don't you know that the dynasty is the only 'idealogy' the Congress has long had and any attempt to discard that very 'idealogy' would make it break into a hundred splinters in time ?
Would any serious politician who has the typical animal instinct for survival ever contemplate seriously trying to challenge the very core that keeps his ambitions alive (that otherwise would have shrivelled up at the outset itself) ???

* Communist leaders in India are real hypocrites. * They advocate anti-capitalism to Indians. Almost all Communist leaders have sent their sons and daughters to America as immigrants in the pretext of higher studies.

What is wrong if communist leaders send their children (and what fraction of the communist leaders actually do?) for higher studies to America ?
Or is it that sending one's children to America for higher studies is by itself an anti-people act only for communist leaders ?
Sure they will be routed out both in Bengal and Kerala. They opposed N Deal but still supported Congress. Now they are calling names to Congress but sure will join Congress with their paltry strength.
Re: have no agenda on India
by piri on Apr 12, 2009 01:12 PM
That depends on what you mean by the word 'rout' !
If a reduction in Lok Sabha strength from 60 to about 40 is a rout, then the left indeed faces a rout.
However, the dictionary meaning of 'rout' is a complete and comrehensive defeat which should translate to mean that only a complete or near complete loss of strength in the Lok Sabha can be termed a 'rout' !
one glance at who are behind these polls explain the reason for them being so biased and out of touch with reality. One can hardly expect manorama, star and other such corporate media groups to be pro left. Anyone who knows the ground level reality in kerala knows that the alienation of the congress, muslim league from vast majority of people has never been so pronounced. Due to their consistent pro poor stand and actions, as always, they continue to enjoy the solid backing of the farmers, farm workers, fishermen, unorganised sector employees and all the progressive people who care about bettering the lives of ordinary people. But now, vast sections of minorities who have always blindly voted for the congress have also realised that the left is the only force which can protect them from communal forces and also protect the nation from becoming a US stooge. As long as India is a country of crores (tens of crores) of starving people, who are malnourished, do not have access to basic sanitation and health care, have no hope of education for their future generations, the Left and their policies will not just be relevant, but a NECESSITY for our country. Whether the corporate media houses LIKE IT OR NOT.

Very true indeed, Naif.
However, all that will remain lost on a vast section among the supposedly educated and 'politically conscious' middle class that is the mainstay of the corporate sponsored media that you spoke of !

very well said.... The so called opinion polls that show a rout for the LDF is nothing but a combination of fanciful delusion and mischievous attempt to manipulate the minset of readers, by the the pro-imperialist media.
In Kerala Churches have actively involved in elecxtion process by propogating against CPM and for Congress. (Read the artcile) If this is done my Hindu Swamis' it is a crimilnal offence bookable under NSA ACt! UPA's double standards is very apparent. Even election commisstion is not taking action against the church heads!

In India anything for Hindus or against minorities is 'communal', whereas anything against Hindus or for minorities is 'secular'. Strange! This pseudo secularism has given strength to BJP since 1985.

It is alleged that Kodikunnal Suresh, the UDF candidate in Mavelikara is a Christian who has submitted a fake ST certificate to contest the polls.... and I susepct it is a part of a wider conspiracy by the church to increase the number of Christians in the parliament..... the matter is in court, but surprisingly no one is making a major issue out of it... what else do you expect the major "Vatican" controlled media house of Kerala to do?
Re: For Churches it is OK for Hindu Mutt head it is not OK!!

The difference (that you have tried to ignore) is the presence or absence of aggressive intent that translates to a perceived threat against the upkeep of law and order !
What is the use in trying to ignore this reality ? An archbishop 'exhorting' his 'flock' to vote in unison for a particular party is certainly a most undesirable accompaniment of institutionalised religion that obviously has very temporal priorities along with it's stated spiritual ones; however a 'swami' or a 'sant' or a 'parivar para-politician' (and sometimes of course, a 'mullah' or a 'moulvi') attempting to subtly and sometimes not so subtly lead on his followers to try and infringe in some manner into the space occupied by other religions and thus jeopardise fundamental rights of the latter's followers is certainly a more immediate and more serious concern for a nation !

This observation is true even for a church head. Please do not tell anyone that Christians or Mullahs are secular and they do not infringe or jeopardise rights of the followers of other religions...please don't spread this "white" lie..everyone knows the truth. But since the english media in India is financed by these Christian and Mullah mafias, you guys have had a free run. India will be free only when it comes out of shackles of guys like you, these venom spitting church heads and the "secular" media.

Who are the 'everyone' you speak of and what is the 'truth' that you refer to ?
'Everyone knows' is a phrase that is increasingly the last resort of the person cornered in a debate.
Come out with the actual statistics (from varied media sources) to support your statements about 'truth', 'white lies'..and generalisation of the 'english media' as being entirely financed by 'Christian and Mullah mafias'.
I am a keralite hindu, albeit one who believes in earnest that it is not religion but matters more temporal such as the needs of the stomach and human dignity that ought to engage public attention. By allowing vested interests to set priorities for himself, the common man invariably allows himself to become a pawn in the former's hands to serve their never changing feudal and sectarian ends. For, what is this mighty enterprise about religion in India if not for protecting landlordism, bonded labour, age-old 'hierarchies' such as those by the priestly and other adjacent classes, denying of basic rights to the majority under the supposedly sacrosanct garb of scriptures 'mandated' obscurantism, et al..??
I do not believe for an instant that 'Christians and Mullahs' can be generalised as the epitomes of secularism. However, I will also be very careful against generalising that those who are ranged against 'Christians and Mullahs' under the garb of 'nationalism', 'cultural pride', 'patritism' (their versions of course)....are indeed ardent votaries of the common good !!!
According to Alexa's (internet/ website monitoring company)stats Rediff.com users come from these countries:
* 85.7% India * 4.5% China * 2.8% United States * 0.7% United Kingdom * 0.6% United Arab Emirates
there are hardly that many indian diaspora in china. looks like the chinese government's programme of messing up other countries and setting up fire internally is working. no wonder rediff blogs are always filld with hate speech.
The left has built up in Kerala a strategy that is insurmountable for the congress front. Now to misleAd the public and to confuse a few undecided voters the pro-congress press in Kerala and outside are coming out with strange analyses and possibilities. One is that befriending PDP of Abdul Naser Madani will alienate the Hindus from the left. This is proof of rank ignorance of the Kerala psyche. Second is to say that this time church-bound Christians and the orthodox among Nair community will not favour the left. Whaaa, never in Independent India have the latter groups favoured a left candidate in this region.
