Judgments by judges of federal court and SC are influenced by big guns/State Govt/Cabinet min and the like.Judges in INDIA are corrupt barring very few may be 2% of the judges.The post of CJI/judges of SC and high courts is reduced to that of a baboo in Govt.Judges are involved in rape and cheap popularity.Palanisamy Sathasivam may be an exception.Money attracts everyone and post retirement,even a chaprasi seeks job somewhere.

may drool away in vain hope that the BJP may someday soon, get to win at least a few seats in the Kerala legislative assembly (he has expressed this sentiment obliquely several times in his pieces).

But Mr. Shenoy must never lose sight of the fact that the BJP could - after repeated, loud and shrill braying campaigns by Narendra Modi in Kerala during the 2014 LS elections - garner just 10.4 % of the total votes cast !!

How sobering this fact is can be understood when one considers that the BJP won 11.6 % of the total votes in the 2004 LS elections in Kerala - when Narendra Modi was nowhere in sight !

It's a good sign for a good governance.In contrary to Khan'gress government's older n worn out persons becoming Governors and sleeping in a royal palace,BJP govt., is appointing active and practical persons as governors.Let us welcome it.All Governors must look after the performance and standards of all educational universities.

Appointment of Chief Judges as Governors of the State.
by subramaniansundararaman on Nov 08, 2014 06:54 PM

MY opinion. there is nothing to defend appointment of Chief Justice as the Governor of the State. they are are clear about the constitutional policies and their functions in their Government action will be on the right path and nothing against the constitutional policies of the democracy people of India.

The only State with more congress MPs is Kerala and hence the congressmen in Kerala are worried that in the next election these MPs will have to sit at home. Congress has been appointing Governors with a lavish retirement life at the tax payers money. Being Chancellor of universities, the Governors sleep and have not seen even Universities. Mr Sathasivan is a different person and he has already shown signs of difference than other Governors which has irked congressmen in Keral.

Paliniswamy Sathasivam can occupy the position of the governor of a state. The gubernatorial job has nothing to do with his earlier position as the chief justice of the supreme court of India. However, one important point must be considered. Sathasivan was not the best of the chief justices in terms of experience, quality and legal outlook. He was promoted through Tamil Nadu judiciary because he was a favorite of the Dravidian political parties - the DMK and the AIADMK as their ideological and corpuscular allies. The main principle of these Dravidian parties is to appoint a person who does not belong to the forward caste (notably the brahmin caste), or who is not a favored native Tamilian (a top Marwari or a Sindhi or Bengali or Kannada person who had lived for generations in Madras or Tamil Nadu). So much so, the state does not appoint candidates on teh basis of merit as it is done in most of the other states in India. Candidates like Justice Hidayathullah,Sarosh Hmi Kapadia, Altamis Kabir, or for that matter, Sir Harilal Jekisundas Kania and Mandkalathur Patanjali Sastri and others were selected presumably on the basis of merit alone, as can be seen by their superb track records and land-mark judgements.

Now Congress being not even eligible for Opposition leader in LS, Mallus can be happy. The other prodigals CPM is also going to evaporate in to thin air having no base in any state, except God's Own Country. Mamta has ensured that CPM and their Polit bureau can function in Delhi and Brinda & her hubby can have a vacation there only not in West Bengal. Only these Mani (Licence gate- 5 Crore for bar licence) and other Kinis can stay for some time, till BJP takes over.

When even the slightest hope cannot be seen on the distant horizon, all that can be done is to say with fake bravado that the BJP WILL TAKE OVER ONE DAY!

Piri, I am debating your words "when even the slightest hope connot be seen on the distant horizon". These words or the words meaning this was spread by you and your like minded people at the time of last general elections and elections in Maharashtra and Haryana. What was the end result? All the parties were wiped out. Kerala is going face the same situation, but may be it will take about 5 to 10 years.

I laid out statistics from the website of the Election Commission of India.

Despite Narendra Modis feverish pitch of shrill campaigns in Kerala in the 2014 LS election (he visited the state no less than 4 times and travelled the length of the state, each time accompanied by a religious or caste leader), only 10.4 % of the Kerala electorate voted for his party. This was less than what the BJP got in 2004 (11.6 %).

Modi had a number of things going for him in the 2014 LS election, not the least of which was the very strong anti incumbency towards Congress, which completed two terms in office.

If Modi could not improve the BJP's vote share in Kerala in 2014 (when he had so many things going for him - anti incumbency against the Congress, divided opposition, parties such as the CPM and the CPI not taking him seriously in Kerala and thus not attacking him, etc.), when can he ?

In Maharashtra and Haryana, the BJP - owing exactly to the reasons mentioned above - got about 10 to 12 % more votes than it got the last time. And this made a big difference.

That is the contrast between states such as Mah, Haryana and Kerala.

Do analyse the statistics a little to understand facts.

Changes are coming in Kerala?

In favour of the BJP ?

So, will a large segment of Keralites now begin to defecate on the streets as their north Indian counterparts do ?

Since someone appears to have given you the script of future changes in Kerala, you should be able to predict whether this will happen too !

You are also sure those statistics put up by the election commission are all wrong, aren't you?

You are sure that 46 % of Keralites actually fell swooning to Modis braying noises but somehow, inexplicably, no BJP candidate got elected, right?
