VS-Pinarayi machinations, Ramesh Chennithala’s Cabinet entry overtaken by Sreesanth




Leave it to the courts, but in Kerala we have been daily gulping down news of machinations on either side of V.S.Achuthanandan and Pinarayi Vijayan who are no doubt powerful personalities.

On the UDF side, it bas been ‘to be or not to be’ for Ramesh Chennithala. For a long time, the Congress high command seems to have been prodding him to join the Oommen Chandy Cabinet, but he has been reticent.

He has been KPCC president for eight years and no one knows how long he could cling on. In two other states similar incumbents who competed six years have been replaced.

The news items on his dilly-dallying have been burdening the public. Sad state of affairs, indeed, that NSS publicly admonishes him together with Oommen Chandy. But he may gravitate towards NSS one way or other. It cannot be otherwise.

Sreesanth has been in the news nationally, but not internationally (BBC did not even mention it on its website) for a despicable reason.

No doubt, he should not be dubbed a criminal until proved guilty, and it is very difficult to prove this in a court of law. Audio clippings are not prime pieces of evidence. After going through a rigmarole of court proceedings, he may or may not come out clean.

The very powerful Sanjay Dutt could not come out unscathed, but that was terrorism sort of wrong.
