There can be transparent rule in accordance with truth, justice and fairplay

The sum total of a regime should be transparency in governance, based on quintessential principles of truth, justice and fairplay. If he wants, Oommen Chandy can follow the precepts giving weight to the cardinal principles and deliver good to the people.

If he would be swayed by considerations of survival on a thin margin, he would not be able to perform well. Come what may, the new Cabinet should perform. Required environment would naturally follow. Even if there is propensity for trouble, one can disregard such threats. For, the result of governance even for a short while would be remembered for long.

Whatever machinations prevailing to the contrary, the new dispensation should strive to function effectively for the common good of all people.

No community can have tall claims about making the present dispensation victorious. At the same time, legitimate claims of all can be conceded. Which means, even the slender majority would not be a problem for Oommen Chandy if he cares to be firm about pulling on in accordance with cardinal principles.
