Yet another comrade slips.

Here's another case of a DYFI(Democratic Youth Front of India) - the CPM's counterpart to the Youth Congress of the INC - comrade who's paid Rs. 50 lakhs to secure a medical seat, from the management's NRI quota of the Pariyaram Medical College of North Kerala, for his daughter! And what makes it farcical is that the very same outfit had gone against the setting up of the college in 1994, citing that education in Kerala was being commercialised!

In the ensuing violence that had erupted, five youth lost their lives in police firing and a young man languishes, to this day, as a living vegetable with one of those bullets lodged in his head. Our comrades are surely beating the capitalists in lifestyle preferences! How does one amass so much of money because parting with hard earned cash on such expenses is definitely gonna cause heartburns to a normal guy? And that's why one easily surmises it to be easy money.

And coming on the heels of this story is that the Education Minister's son has been admitted in a Medical College after tweaking the merit list. He'll also have to respect the sentiments of the people which had pressurised another minister to withdraw his daughter from the Pariyaram Medical College just a few days back.

One's getting sick of the double standards and the doublespeak!

My take.

I've nothing against people aspiring for something big, because it's a must and especially when somebody has the resources to back it up. What becomes a problem is when the same individual preaches otherwise for his not so affluent fellow citizens!
