There can be no basis, but media speculated on Oommen Chandy being made Governor of AP

By O.J.George

Imagination staggers, for wild speculation could go this far. One portal in the Gulf has speculated the Centre was mulling over posting either Oommen Chandy or Digvijay Sing as the Governor of Andhra Pradesh in place of sex scandal tainted N.D.Tiwari.

Our own Oommen Chandy is deeply enmeshed in the politics of Kerala and there can be no replacement for him in the state, unless of course by any chance A.K.Antony, now Defence Minister, who could be any Minister or even President of India in future, condescends to return to state politics. And his return to Kerala scene being a remote possibility as Antony had asserted earlier that he would not contest from Kerala again.

And so there is a grain of truth in the common allegation that the media can go into wild imagination.

Coming to N.D.Tiwari, the 85-year-old Governor under exit, one wonders if an old man can indulge in all sorts of spooky affairs. Mind you, we are not living in any feudal set-up. Can some women go on sending girls to Tiwari, the Governor, with impunity, offering them jobs?

Tiwari’s case is a warning to other weaklings as well. Frolicking with women at all odd hours and spooky circumstances, particularly to those wielding power, would cost them dearly. Forget about Tiwari, he has reached his political Sun-set. The likes of Rajmohan Unnithan are not.

Ugly goings-on undergoing a churning process? No one knows.
