Quick development would be tad difficult amidst unrest and chaos

The new Congress-led UDF Government appears to be embarking on a programme of development and care for the people, if the announcements already made are any reckoning.

The Oommen Chandy Government is running with a wafer-thin majority, which need not be a stumbling block if there is a will on the part of the partners of the front to go ahead and realize achievements.

Maybe, the government can utilize the opportunity to garner courage and mop up support among themselves and among others who are not unwilling to co-operate. An Opposition which does not want to allow developmental works simply for the sake of taking on the rivals cannot be dealt with on the same plane.

But one cannot assume that the V.S.Achuthanandan-led Opposition would oppose Kochi Smart City, Kochi Metro, Vizhinjam harbour and other projects. For they were keen on implementing these schemes during the last portion of its tenure in governance.

The Oommen Chandy-led dispensation should try to ensure as much co-operation as possible from the Opposition to implement various developmental projects.

People want peaceful life which would engender developments.
