The Lame Duck Government in Kerala has got a lively engagement

The long wait to know the fate of the existing political government could be agonizing. The people have either voted in or voted out a prevailing government, but then the decision stands in limbo because the people’s verdict remains within the ballot box, nay electronic voting machines. A wait for a clear one month is worrisome for all.

Still the V.S.Achuthanandan government in Kerala has got realtime engagement, fighting against deadly pesticide Endosulfan. Since the issue is ticklish, and no sensible person can keep off the bandwagon if he had a glance at the deformed and malformed bodies of the victims anywhere, the item number draws huge gatherings wherever a stir programme is held.

In the bargain, the state government runs away without any blame even as it cannot wash its hands off since Endosulfan was used by aerial spraying in cashew plantations in Kasargode. The Plantation Corporation nor other entities have been punished for this criminal act which ultimately rendered the lives of hundreds of human beings as non-lives.

All the time, Endosulfan has been banned in Kerala, but no action was taken seriously to see that those who spray Endosulfan are punished. That is one point.
Another point is that the Union Government all the time refused to ban the pesticide at the national level on the plea that only Kerala and Karnataka had pleaded for such a ban.

It could be man’s inhumanity to humanity and even gene mutation that could never be forgiven. Now the Union Government stands in humiliation even as countries like China, Brazil, Argentina and others have sought ban. The US had already clamped a ban.

Anyway, Achuthanandan has wholesome stuff to while away his time while the government is in limbo.
