Al-Avalathi’s Life (Al-Avalathi is the last Mallu to go to the Gelf)
Random header image... Refresh for more!

Wake up Achumamma!

Welcome back!

The optimist in me never lets me believe that the see saw politics is actually a bane to Kerala.The government that comes to power makes sure that it finds hazaar reasons to plug even the minutest of the developmental activities initiated by their predecessor by finding a scam in the deal or try all possible means to hijack the credit of the step towards development.

We have seen this in the case of the well talked about smart city.

I used to shrug off any allegation against unfriendliness of Kerala as an investment destination to the fact that the high literacy rate combined with the high density of population was the prime reason for people forming action committees against any development citing reasons that environment is going to be affected, people are going to be rehabilitated, the investors are foreigners….

When other states are trying to woo investments and lure foreign investment, we see Kerala trying to pedal backward in fighting against foreign investment, be it in Rare earth mining or retail.

The funniest thing is foreign need not be firangs, anyone like a Birla or Reliance is enough to be branded as kuthaka/lobby etc.

I am yet to understand the logic of people protesting against the coming of organized retailers when almost every other state in India welcomed them with open arms.

Why are the political parties so fond of showing their power by calling bandh now known as hartal and that too for the silliest reasons?

How can a hartal against the government help control the spread of fever during the monsoons?
What extra bit can a hartal help in controlling fever?I do not hesitate a bit in calling these people irresponsible morons!

God almighty, please find some time out of your busy schedule in putting a pinch of brains into these duds!

The issue of hartal, investment unfriendliness arises not out of literacy,or of a high density of population that would not let any brick and mortar industry to come up(ya, people in this part of the world think about pollution first!!!)
but….the politicians,their chamchaas who rule the educational institutions of the state and the creed of jobless insensible brainless people collectively known as DYFI.

Politicians feed the student leaders who are a disgrace to the student community. A typical state level leader of any of the party affiliated student body would be in their early thirties, who are fed by politicians to cling onto some university and are unemployable to the highest order.These men/women have nothing else to do but try to hog lime lite somehow by shouting slogans against issues related or unrelated to students, create law and order issues and fight with the police/govt. as if we are still being rules by the British.
Burning effigy,vandalism and burning buses/govt vehicles is their favorite pastime.

Another class that need to be classified as pariahs before they take the state to deeper mess is DYFI. Any one can become a member by paying Rs 3 or 5 as a lifetime membership fee. And join the league of people paid to create public nuisance.

This post is jus a random thought, thoroughly unstructured and is typed at a stretch non stop….

Mr. CM , get a life!!! Open your eyes!!!

Its not jst the CM who can do anythin. I don’t know why you find fault with just the CM. AFAIK he’s one of the few good men left in Kerala politics. Its true that people in Kerala do go up in arms against big retailers or MNC’s, and i don’t support them in that, but is it fair on the part of the BIG Baazaar’s and fresh stores to stick duplicate MRP stickers, esp when Kerala, as you said, has the largest % of literates. If you had blamed the govt as a whole i’d totally be in support. But before going against the CM just find out what he has to go through each day in office, be it regarding the Munnar demolitions or the deals for Smart city.

@Ap
Thanks
@Abhijith
I blamed the govt and not CM, I meant every govt that came in Kerala….now its Achumamman, so was addressed to him….
What did Big Bazaar do, I am sure they dont need to do such antics!!

Well if u blamed the govt i join ur war! Big Bazaar was found to use wrong MRP stickers which showed a higher price than the actual price from the manufacturers. They hiked the MRP and then gave a discount equalling the hike. The Metrology dept even issued a show cause notice. Other than this they have also been giving bad quality products, of which am a customer![:D]

@Abhijith
Not commenting on the price issue as I have no real account of ur claims!
And on quality of products, other than FMCG/Consumer Durables in Big Bazaar, rest all are sub standard coz the Target Group they focus is the lower middle class mass market who look jus at the price…. If u want quality, u better pay money!!! and go to Central!(again from Biyani)

It is sad to see a state with so much potential having to miss out on so many things because of the politics involved in the government. But the truth is also that the mindset of the people hasn’t changed. They are also ok with the dimnished growth the state is showing!
