I have visited Kannur which is treated as land of hard core communists with young unemployed men getting killed for the party simply to get added to galaxy of martyrs when leaders like Pinaray who live like mafia kings laugh madly thinking about the fortune of adding martyrs for the cause of good life for people like Karat, Pinaray and Jayarajans
Politburo of Marxist party comprising of extremely intelligent people who consider themselves as people who cannot make mistakes due to their extra ordinary intelligence have recently made an announcement that Pinaray Vijayan is the innocent man who will never make any money out of any deals. Even his mafia king like outbursts to media is only expressions of his innocence. Earlier same politburo has found that nuclear deal contract with USA will make India a colony of USA.Even though Manmohan Singh has signed nuclear deal these wise men are too busy to search for any indications of colonial rule of India by USA and that is why they are silent about it now. Having declared Pinaray as innocent, they find several actions of Comptroller and Audit General, High Court of Kerala, CBI and State Governor as great injustice done to an innocent man.
I was visiting Sivapuram near Kannur for design and construction of a traditional nalukettu with modern architectural features. Very near to the site, I saw a memorial for poor misguided youth who died so that people like Pinaray and Karat can live in luxury. My client is a Switzerland settled person. They have told me that all their people are hardcore CPIM people. I could not help asking with fear in my words-Men of Pinaray? I was greatly surprised to hear their reply-We are dead against that looter and his men like Karat who make a looter hero and a man who refused to call him innocent, as great sinner. I was hearing such comments from everywhere from people of all walks of life in Kerala. But this red bastion was supposed to follow the dictates of wise men of Politburo. Instead they have shared the common view that Karat and gang will sing final song of this so called revolutionary party.
Development is yet to reach this red bastion. One of these men whom I met told me that development and education should be prevented at all costs.”Why” I asked. If people are educated and have jobs, who will come to fight for party and die to become martyr?
Whichever eating places we tried had only neychore (Rice mixed with ghee), biriyani and non vegetarian dishes and the national food of Keralites found in every restaurant of Kerala, Porota eating of which is really harmful to human body and so eating food on the way was difficult for a vegetarian like me. Even in the early morning when we got into a small eating place they have only fried fish and Appam to offer. Appam was not even properly cooked. Others were happily eating it with fish curry! Generally people were not looking healthy and individually all of them look harmless. I wonder how these people can fight and die for politicians who are only trying to loot the land.
On the way we passed through Mahi which was previously called as Mayyazhi described so eloquently in the book,”Mayyazhipuzhayude theerangalil “written by M.Mukundan. This tiny place by the side of Mayyazhi River flowing into sea is an island inside Kerala state belonging to another union territory called Pondicherry which is far away inside Tamil Nadu.Due to difference in state affiliation liquor and even petroleum products are cheaper in this place. Liquor shops are so many in numbers and even petrol pumps are unusually more in numbers. Apart from these increased no of liquor shops no development of any nature has come to the place. Mayyazhi church stands just like in the olden days by the side of road.
I could even see an old iron bridge made by British being used even now near Kannur even though the bridge rattles heavily when vehicles pass through it with space just enough for one vehicle to pass through. Probably authorities will think of an alternate bridge only when this bridge collapses possibly with an accident claiming few lives of ordinary people. Even with these poor infrastructure facilities there is a talk of fourth international airport in Kerala coming up at Kannur which shows how pathetic are the priorities of “innocent” politicians simply trying to loot money
