Election for Loksabha-Kerala scenario

After five years those twenty persons who were visiting Delhi as representatives of Kerala and enjoying all facilities and privileges as members of parliament from Kerala have come back to Kerala after the five year merry go around. In these five years most of them have simply slept whenever they felt like attending parliament session to be woken up from comfortable slumber when some north Indian MP was shouting probably due to madness
None of them have done something for the development of the state irrespective of party affiliations. They were acting like puppets in the hands of party managers playing without any self control or self respect.
Election came and candidates of most of the political parties for our twenty seats of parliament are again selected not due to their intelligence or capability to talk for Kerala and work for interests of Kerala people. They are simply selected as per the wishes and likes of few individuals. Most of the left candidates have become so because the mighty Pinaray Vijayan liked them due to reasons known only to him as the party CPM has become a congregation of his followers who will say halleluiah to whatever he says and does even if it is corruption or hobnobbing with extremist communal outfits
He has decided on his own to allot one parliament seat to PDP even though PDP is not a constituent of LDF.For achieving this he was willing to show door to poor CPI which as a political party has only leaders and no followers. He refused sitting seat to Janatadal simply to keep his promise to a dear friend, Faris.So Janatadal has only one way to go-out. He did not bother much about exit of Janatadal. Seat rejected by Janatadal was given to CPI and thus CPI could manage to escape a throwing out of LDF.
On the other side so called Italian high command of Congress did not bother much about win ability while deciding on a candidate. You cannot expect an Italian woman who happened to land up in India by marriage to have all the wisdom and vision expected of a leader of 100 crores people.
At Trivandrum she managed to put a locally unknown figure who talks Malayalam in English accent making me feel irritated every time I hear it in TV as if poor Malayalam language is destined to suffer this bad treatment.
At Kollam she simply assumes that a 92 year old Karunakaran has got supporters outside his family. So a seat is given to a simple sinkidy of Karunakaran with no capability other than being a stooge of Karunakaran.
At Ernakulam she could find only a sitting MLA who does not know how to do anything for anybody else other than himself. Probably he will be a good sleeper in Lok sabha like his predecessor. With carefully selected candidates Congress could have won many seats easily. But who is bothered about winning more seats other than making your sinkidies happy?
