Kerala's politics is getting murkier and murkier, with the Assembly polls scheduled to be held in three phases.The results could be known by May 11.

The main fronts, one led by Congress Party and the other by the Communists, have been taking five-year turns without fail to rule over the three-crore people.

Senility and vulnerability of K.Karunakaran is coming to the fore. He was phenomenal in breaking away from the Congress Party, and forming his own DIC- Democratic Indira Congress( Karunakaran).

In fact, Congress Party has been benevolent on him and his family.His son was made KPCC (Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee) president .And the chap was doing the job fine. Then Karunakaran could not remain idle. Give him the maximum, he would again demand a pound of flesh. This has let him go to the dogs.

The Congress Party has now reinstated him byhaving electoral adjustments with his party.Still he is grumbling.

The present elections would witness unprecedented interplay of politics. No one can predict the results, though traditional political currents should see the Communists coming back to power.
