Hon. Chief Minister, we the people of Kerala charge you with the following acts of commission and omission during your 5 year misrule:
1.When you speak to the Press you invariably read from a paper. Whenever you speak on your own, you either spew venom or heap contempt on your political adversaries. Vayalar Ravi aptly remarked that you have been possessed by the ghost of Josef Stalin, the erstwhile Russian leader who mercilessly disposed of all his enemies. Is this what you are dreaming of doing? Sending all your opponents to jail? Don’t you realize that times have changed? That this is the 21st century and that you are no longer in Russia, but in God’s Own Country?
2.Your Government put the Vizhinjam Port in cold storage for 5 years.
3.You singlehandedly stalled the Smart City project for 7 years.
4.You had to reverse many of your high profile decisions like the Munnar Operation Demolition and the Golf Club Closure.
5.You turned a blind eye to all the allegations leveled against your son, V A Arun Kumar, by various persons across the social, political, and industrial spectrum. Even after a written complaint was given by the Leader of the Opposition, you did not order a police investigation, but forwarded it to the Lok Ayukta instead.
6.When your erstwhile comrade in arms, M R Shaji, revealed that he had collected Rs. 5 lakhs from a liquor contractor and delivered it to you at your residence during the Mararikulam election campaign, you simply branded him a liar and did not order an enquiry. The same night Shaji’s house was attacked by ‘unidentified persons’. Your former secretary K M Shahjahan came out with startling revelations in his book “Chuvanna Adalangal” – again no enquiry was ordered. When you begin to handcuff all the corrupt politicians, why don’t you start with your own self?
7.After the Elections were announced, your Government issued 8 bar licenses and illegally appointed thousands of hand-picked candidates to various government posts, throwing all norms and procedures to the winds.
8.You showed utter disrespect for the women of Kerala when you described your opponent Lathika Subhash as “aetho oruthi” and your former comrade Sindhu Joy as “oruthi.” You also made a snide remark that the media should investigate how Lathika Subhash became famous.
9.You were so worried about what Kunhalikutty did in the distant past, that you had no time to think about what your Government should do for Kerala.
10.You got the parents of Kiliroor victim Shari arrested when they observed a peaceful strike outside your official residence. That was the height of irony! The same man who solicited votes proclaiming that if elected he would put all sex offenders behind bars, turned the police on the long suffering parents of the hapless victim.
11.When P Sasi, political secretary to late CM, E K Nayanar, wrote to the Party accusing you of trying to influence the Justice Mohan Kumar Commission in the Kalluvathukkal liquor tragedy case, you did not order an enquiry.
12.When P Sasi was accused of sexual harassment (or was it sexual assault?) by the wife of a DYFI leader, where was your much-trumpeted morality? Is this not an offence under the law? Four months have passed since this incident became public knowledge, and your Government has not raised a finger. When it is an in-house job, is sexual harassment acceptable? Is the law of the CPM above the law of the land?
13.Your Government let Sabarinath of the total4you scam escape while he was out on bail. The investigation has reached nowhere and the prime accused has disappeared. Amen.
14.The Merchiston estate sale to ISRO in 2007 by a company owned by Xavi Mano Mathew was the most dubious land deal facilitated by your Government. Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan stayed for 5 years in a house owned by this person. No wonder he enjoys supreme protection!
15.Lottery king, Santiago Martin paid 2 crores to Deshabhimani and when the news became public the money was ostensibly returned. Faris Abubacker took over the century-old Deepika newspaper by a series of machinations and tied it to the CPM stable. IG of Police, Tomin J Thachankery made unauthorized trips to various locations, including the Gulf, and the reasons are yet to be disclosed. Your Government made no attempt to unearth these scams.
16.The Puthur tragedy, followed by the custodial death of Sampath, the subsequent wishy washy investigation by the Kerala Police, all stand exposed today thanks to the CBI. Who was your Government trying to protect?
17.You had sent a 300 page document to the CPM Politburo alleging that Pinarayi Vijayan was guilty of corruption in the Lavalin case. Why did you not file a case against him in the Court? You cleverly used it as a bargaining counter to make sure you got the CM’s post in 2006.
18.Your Government denied parole to veteran leader R Balakrishna Pillai on specious grounds, but granted parole to hardened criminals at the drop of a hat.
19.When the LEFT MLAs attacked media persons and threatened UDF candidates and election officials, you had nothing to say except ‘unfortunate’. Even the lyricists who wrote songs for the UDF campaign were threatened by LDF goons. A stage erected for the country’s Defence Minister at Kannur was demolished by ‘unidentified’ Leftists. And you took no action.
20.You and your Ministers failed to understand or acknowledge that the Congress-led UPA Government under Dr. Manmohan Singh managed to steer the country through the difficult years of the global recession. You were quick to take credit for all the people-friendly schemes introduced by the Central Government. And you kept on blaming the Centre for all the woes of the State, which arose as a direct consequence of your misrule.
Hon. Chief Minister, on receipt of your reply, we the people will decide whether God’s Own Country needs to elect the Devil’s Own Candidates…
