Poetic justice awaits Kerala CM

The communist government in Kerala is about to complete exactly the half of its scheduled tenure, but Chief Minister Achyuthanandan has landed himself in trouble, yet again.

The never-ending saga of the Munnar land issue is all set to snowball in to a bigger political issue in the coming days and most probably, this time, it would end only with the resignation of Achyuthanandan.

His detractors within his own party are plotting a better organized and orchestrated effort this time and it looks like the final battle for Achyuthanandan. The coming days would very well decide the fate of the political career of this veteran leader from the land of backwaters .

It is payback time for Achyuthanandan. I personally lost all the respect from this leader from the land of backwaters the moment he insulted the family of late major Sandeep Unnikrishnan.

The sheer thought of coming face to face with the family of a real life martyr might have taken the wits out of the leader, who claims to have fought the British underground. While blurting out those expletives, unthinkable from a leader of his status, Achyuthanandan forgot the simple fact that his own party has thrived on hundreds of martyrs.

He had been reckless (we often misunderstood it as he being brave) throughout his career. And, looking at the way he handled issues in the last couple of weeks, it looks like he is beyond redemption.
