Group politics.

It's exasperating to watch politicians playing their narrow-minded games and making moves to attain one upmanship among themselves. For example, the Congress in the state has a lot many groups each sniping at other to score brownie points. Why they do it only they'd be able to justify or I won't even be surprised that even they won't be able to do so.

And the result - governance, for which we'd elected them, has taken a backseat. Most of the time, the Chief Minister and his ministers are busy trying to sort out one crisis after the other. If they're unable to get over a hurdle, they fly to Delhi for 'directives, acceptable to the entire lot of groups' to bring about a lull only to restart it after a break!

It's my fervent hope that the present dispensation ruling Kerala falls apart so that somebody, more capable, giving emphasis to governance takes over. That's the only way to teach the guys a lesson for playing petty group politics. Not that the alternative is any rosy, the opposition is equally in a disarray and will not be able to make any headway.

It's entertainment to watch 'leaders'(?) air their pearls of wisdom on the visual media only to realise their folly and retract their statements or blame it on the media for having contorted(?) their 'noble' ideas.

I think the common man is very clear. It's, "You've failed us and betrayed our faith in you. Just go away if you can't provide us good, clean and task oriented governance". And as proof, get the roads of the state motorable for a start.


Tailpiece.

The clamour for more states has begun ever since the 'Telengana' formation has been announced. Yet another example of 'small' decisions made by 'small' leaders!
