Communist hypocrisy in Kerala

Today, I feel like writing about the communist hypocrisy in Kerala, which has been around for so many years and which I think is the biggest curse for the state and its development.

The state in which the world’s first democratic communist ministry came to power, is now being crushed under the bloody hypocrisy of communist politics in the state. The reason is the double standards of the communism that is preached and followed in Kerala. Take the development chart of Kerala – The development in Kerala is very slow placed (in fact a leach would move faster than the pace of development in Kerala) and the prime reason for this is red-tapism and unionism which happens to the maximum extent only in Kerala when compared to any other state in India.

In Kerala, there is union for everything in the world that you can think of. There is union for everything starting from daily wage labourers to ministers. The only section that is excluded from forming unions is the common man who is let to suffer at the hand of these unions, bureaucracy, legislature and judiciary.

Now lemme come to the topic of discussion on how the double standards affect the development of the state. The communists preach of their love for working class and the upliftment of the working class. The point is that the upliftment of the working class can come only through development and nothing else. The communists are opposed to development in the state. Can some one point out at least one industry in the state in the last 20 years? Can someone point out at least one worth investment in the state n the last 20 years? Don’t waste ur time searching answers for all these. There is nothing to point out.

If someone wants to start an industry in the state, he needs to bribe everyone with from the peon in the Secretariat till the chief minister. After doing all these by spending crores, he gets the permission to start an industry. Now the real problem starts, The bureaucracy starts to interfere and puts forward the rule book which if difficult for anyone to interpret even the folks who frames the laws. Sometimes, I wonder why we need all these laws and why these laws are different from state to state. Why don’t we have a common federal system in place which covers for the country as a whole?

After bribing the bureaucracy, if the entrepreneur thinks that that is the end of the whole affair, he is mistaken. It is actually the beginning. Then comes the so called big force called unions. He has to bribe them also to get things through. After all these, he can proceed to start the venture in Kerala. Why should an entrepreneur take such pain to do all these? If the venture is big, they can afford all these, however what if the venture is small or medium sized?

Even if the venture is started inspite of all the pains indicted above, the entrepreneur will always be a slave to all these categories of people. The demands will keep on increasing and all these demand s will have to met to get the venture operations going. In short, the politicians get a life long source of income.

I cannot think of any ventures which the communists have not opposed in the state. They have opposed each and everything that has come to this state and later accepted it. Also, even when they have opposed these in the full public glare, they have embraced this in private and tailored it for their sycophants for their benefits.

The biggest example is the Coca Cola incident which exposed their double standards. They took money from coke and gave the permission to start coke in Palghat. When this was exposed by the media and opp parties, they started their war against coke itself. The same happened with the self financing educational system in Kerala. Prior to this system, Kerala had one of the highest standards of education in India. With the coming of self financial institutions which started offering education with the sole intention of grabbing money, the quality of education offered took a steep dip similar to the bating average of Rahul Dravid.

Who cares for all these? The politicians want money and nothing else. They do not care for the common man and the education offered to the generations to come. They just want money and to make their family secure. Can u point out at least one communist leader in Kerala whose children are not in the US? Can u point out atleast one communist leader in Kerala who does not have crores of asset? The answer to both the questions above is NO.

The double standards have come to light in the Lavlin, IT park, Info park, SEZ, and every issue in Kerala right from the time of independence. It is not communism running in Kerala. It is corruption, double standards and hypocrisy that is being preached in the name of communism. Late the bloody communists of Kerala take a look at their counterparts in West Bengal. Let them understand how West Bengal has embraced progressive communism and how that has helped in the development of the state. NO one fears communism in West Bengal, people embrace it with grace but in Kerala it is a nightmare and is a blood thirsty vampire.

All the communists in Kerala have their sons and daughters in the US and Europe countries. Isn’t this against what they preach? All the communists have their families visiting temples and getting priority to get neat the lord. Isn’t this against what they preach? All the communists travel in foreign cars? Isn’t this against what they preach? All the communists spend money for their personal use and distinguish people of the state based on caste, creed, color, sex and financial status. Isn’t this against what they preach?

I don’t know my dear. All that I know is that to survive in this country and to live in this country, we need to pay hafta to the legislature, legislature and judiciary. I am in a snake eating land and I WILL eat the fleshy mid-piece.

Consider the number of opportunities that Infocity and IT parks could have created in Kerala. Folks from Kerala could have survived in the state itself and led a life here itself with investments. Now what happens is that people from Kerala struggle and build a life by going out of the state. Take a look at the people from any of the other cities. They have more opportunities within the state and hence they can plan for a long term settlement within the state unlike Keralites. I repeat - I am in a snake eating land and I WILL eat the fleshy mid-piece.
