Keralites have a lot of WikiLeaks info to gobble up during Onam

Think of Onam 2011, when we have plenty of WikiLeaks info to gobble up and please Maveli for our opulence.

V.S.Achuthanandan, Pinarayi Vijayan, M.A.Baby, Thomas Isaac, P.K.Kunjalikutty, M.K.Muneer are all enmeshed in WikiLeaks info.

For the CPM leaders, the leaks is a heaven-sent, for rival groups can present their views on certain issues in the guise of comments on WikiLeaks. Such utterances have already come out. Sometimes court cases also provide such occasions for the leaders.

But don’t mistake all these mouthings as some sort of imminent explosion in the party that would break it. Nothing of the sort. The party will continue to undergo the waxing and waning to take up reins of administration every other five years.

This time, the party tried hard to retain power. It was on the verge of fulfilling its dreams, because of the bickerings within the UDF bandwagon. Had the UDF mandarins been successful in defeating just two more candidates, the situation would have been entirely different. Luck eluded the LDF by a whisker. Still the leaders can wax eloquent, for WikiLeaks have provided them the fodder.

The Congress Party is a different entity altogether. It is some sort of a free-for-all. A T.H.Musthafa can twist things to his advantage in the palmolein case and there won’t be any criticism against him. Afterall, he has his own rights.

Now the public utterances by K.Sudhakaran, MP, and Kannur DCC president P.Ramakrishnan could be the epitome of undaunted utterances by various leaders. The Congress Party would see virtue in utterances of divergent views.

The people are bemused by various utterances during Onam time. Anyway, the government led by Oommen Chandy is providing rice at Rs one per kilogramme to the Below-the-Poverty Line people. Don’t worry, at least they get it, even though those above this thin line are not much different.

WikiLeaks won’t be earthshattering in Kerala.
