Kerala / Tamil Nadu / Puducherry 2016 Election Exit Poll RESULTS

And finally the judgement day is over after a long battle of around 2 months! As the beautiful term 'democracy' is being given a dirty meaning by the selfish and cruel politicians, every elections are literally seeing the murder of democracy for the benefits of these politicians. As a result of this, every elections are taking an ugly face. And the situation will be worse in the polls to come in future. As the formation of some fronts were done against values and principals, people are struggling hard to suppress their eagerness to know who all will win and who all will lose. Unlike the earlier elections, the government in the center is also keen to find whether the so called 'Modi wave' (which was projected 2 years ago) is still prevailing in the Indian states.

All the candidates who contested and the political parties reiterated the same statements which they have been making from the first day of their campaigning that they will win and their parties will form the governments. If the words of the leaders are to be taken seriously, there will be many governments in every state like Kerala and Tamil Nadu. All UDF Leaders (except disloyal congress leader C N Balakrishnan) very strongly stated that the UDF government in Kerala will have a continuation of government, while all the LDF leaders stated that the there is a strong wave favouring the LDF. All the third front NDA leaders also expressed similar positive opinions.

The same statements were witnessed in Tamil Nadu state also. While CM Jayalalithaa said that the AIADMK will secure majority to form government, the DMK front also said similar statement that they will win more seats to form the next government in Tamil Nadu.

As the voting is completed by and large peacefully, and all the stake holders are finding it very difficult to control their anxiety until the counting day on May 19, they will turn to the various exit polls and post poll opinion surveys.

Poonjar / Punjar (Kottayam) Assembly Election 2016 winner is ..

Though the electoral battle in every constituency whether big or small, is a matter of 'do or die' situation for all the political parties and contesting candidates concerned, some constituencies attract special public interest. Poonjar assembly constituency in Kottayam district of Kerala is probably witnessing one of the toughest poll battles and all eyes are turned towards Poonjar to know the voting outcome.

As per the final list of nominations filed for the Kerala Assembly Polls 2016 after the withdrawal of candidates, Poonjar constituency recorded the top position in entire Kerala with the highest number of 17 candidates in the fray. While most constituencies have a triangular fight Poonjar is witnessing a quadrilateral battle with all the four candidates foretelling their winning. 

In Poonjar, UDF has fielded Georgekutty Augusthy of Kerala Congress (M) and LDF is supporting PC Joseph (newly formed Francis George Group). The NDA's candidate is former CPIM activist MR Ullas who is now a member of Vellappally Nateshan's BDJS. 

Poonjar gained its present popularity by its long time MLA PC George, who was earlier liked by most people of the mandalam for his pro-people activities and comparatively cleaner and transparent image. But his disobedience to the political leaderships and his uncontrollable tongue distanced many of his loyal fans from him. In the past, he was a regular celebrity guest for the media as he often used unparliamentary and vulgar words in his public statements against most leaders in the government of which he too was a part. Many journalists, mimicry artists and cartoonists often termed him as an 'uncontrollable wild animal' and he seemed enjoying and relishing these comments and considered them as an encouragement for his untameable wild attitude. 

But after leaving the government and the ruling front, with a hope of getting the favor of the left leaders, he further unlashed his sharp tongue and continued to challenge everyone with whom he was working for more than three years. And when his hope of getting accommodated in the LDF failed, George realised the necessity to control his tongue. And when the LDF at the last moment, fielded another candidate for Poonjar, it was a great unexpected blow for PC George and he was very calculative and careful in criticising the LDF leaders like Pinaray Vijayan and Kodiyeri Balakrishnan as he knew it is not safe as he is aware of the after effect of criticising CPI(M) leaders.

PC George who has represented Poonjar as MLA for six times has won the applaud of the people of his constituency for being with them even in small and common things that pertained even to the average man. People have high regard for his character and his stand against corruption. Even though he is contesting as an independent candidate now as the LDF which has ditched him, he is very confident of his victory and has offered his support to VS Achuthanandan in case there is a hung assembly and VS getting the chance becoming the next CM. To his added advantage, both his rivals who were earlier his colleagues are new to the assembly. 

For people of Poonjar PC George is an already proven worker. What ever is his merits or demerits in adjusting with other fronts or parties, people feel that he is a reliable leader who will stand by the people and for the people in their needs. They also hope that in the event of his winning another term, he concentrate more on the needs of the constituency and its people rather than wasting his time, energy and respect by engaging in mud-slinging and revenge taking activities and prove his improved maturity in deeds and words...!!!

Kerala Election 2016; Latest Final trends: Who will form the next Government?

There will soon be an end to the anxiety and curiosity of the people of Kerala. As assembly elections were announced much earlier this time than usual, the people had a long period of time waiting in eagerness about the political and communal changes that can take place in the state. Until now electoral battles were held between the two fronts viz. UDF and LDF but this time with the arrival of the NDA it has become a triangular fight.

Soon there will be answers to all questions about the political future of Kerala. With the counting of votes on May 19, it will become clear whom the people of Kerala have opted to rule them for another five years. Choosing the better devil is a real challenge for most of the concerned voters of Kerala now. There is no necessity for any reports of any vigilance or investigating agency to ascertain that the present UDF government by Oommen Chandy is stained with charges of corruption while the LDF, whether it forms government or not, will be performing violence and murder. (Even the recent statements by some senior CPIM leaders like Jayarajan in his election speech underlines that it is very difficult to separate CPI(M) and violence and today's accidental death of a CPIM activist while making bombs at his home).  And the new comer NDA (by Amith Shah and PM Modi) has proved within just two years how easily and smartly they can divide the people and destroy the country by delivering attractive speeches. They also have nothing to claim in delivering good governance these tow years.

With just less than two weeks left for the voting, there is a lot of tension not only in the candidates and parties but also in the minds of the politically-literate people of Kerala. It was surprising to know that there was a huge inflow of hawala money into the state this time (probably for the first time) like the majority of states in India.

While a portion of the society are thinking to give a chance to the LDF as they believe that only the LDF can minimise corruption and stand sternly against fascism, the other portion is in favour of the UDF and say corruption is better affordable than violence and goondaism. Even though some pre-poll surveys conducted recently by Asianet TV give slight weightage to the LDF in the elections, the choice of the Chief Minister candidate was astonishing. Even people who want a left government favors a person like Ommen Chandy as the Chief Minister of Kerala. According to the survey results, majority of the people of Kerala opined that they preferred Oommen Chandy as the next CM also...

The list of contesting candidates in the fray are finalised. 

There are 140 assembly constituencies in the 14 districts of Kerala.

Total number of candidates filed nominations:        1,647
Candidates who withdrew nomination by May 2nd:    444
Total number of candidates in the final list     :       1,203      

Malappuram district has highest number of candidates: 145
Wayanad district has the least number of candidates:      29
The constituency with more number of candidates:  Punjar (Kottayam)

Even though many prominent personalities of the BJP including the PM Modi and chief Amit Shah are to hold many rallies and meetings in different parts of the state, majority of the people are unanimous in saying that Kerala should keep BJP away. Even though opportunist leaders like Vellappally Nateshan (who has frankly admitted that) have joined hands with BJP, and the BJP with all its power and might is camping in the state (as they did in Delhi) the popular feeling is that divisive and destructive politics of the sangh pariwar must not be entertained in God's own country.

The recent over reaction of Oommen Chandy to VS Achutanandan's allegations about 31 cases against him has caused more harm than good.

According to the people's public opinion about the ensuing Kerala assembly election results, in the present scenario, there are chances of repeating the previous 2011 election results once again in Kerala with UDF leading just one or two seats. one of the main factors of UDF's slight weigtage is because of their liquor ban policy (implimented by V M Sudheeran) which is welcomed by many particularly the women. But anything can happen any time that can influence the decision of the people until the day of polling ie on May 16th which can affect and alter the present opinion poll of the people. Even the inaction of the police for many days after the brutal rape and killing of poor law student Jisha has adversely affected the UDF to some extend even while writing this matter..!

Anti-corruption Forum EXCEL KERALA is formed by DGP Jacob Thomas

Kerala's DGP ranked officer Dr. Jacob Thomas IPS today officially announced the formation of a new Organization named Excel Kerala which is mainly aimed at reaching good governance, development and zero corruption in Kerala state. It also aims to achieve human rights, gender equality, peace and non-violence etc.

Many prominent personalities of Kerala from different walks of life, have also joined the movement which is said to be non-political. The names of the founding members of the organization are listed in the website of Excel-Kerala. They include, film directors Sathyan Anthicad and Lal Jose, actor Sreenivasan, popular RTI activist Adv D B Binu, noted writers Zacharia and Balachandran Chullikkadu, Santhosh George Kulangara of Sancharam fame, Journalist Arun Kumar, social worker sreedhanya Rishikesh, Prof M N Karassery and many others.

The excel Kerala web portal has an online open forum where people can register and join the discussions and exchange information. The posts of the affected are debated and follow-up actions are to be taken.

The author of this new initiative Dr Jacob Thomas was voted as the 'News Maker of 2015' by Kerala's leading news media and is a peck in the eyes of the UDF government by Team Oomman Chandy facing serious corruption allegations. As a result of his repeated disobedience to the government orders, he was transferred to different positions very often. There is also an allegation against him of receiving huge salary for his work rendered to some private institutions being in Government service..!!

Corruption (bribery) which has become an enormous giant is growing day-by day in India and it is an Himalayan task to eliminate it. However people are putting all their hopes on any person or effort who strives to control it and are very glad to extend every support. May such endeavours become successful and achieve the goals.

DGP Senkumar on PM Modi's Kollam visit following Temple Fire Tragedy

The recent fire tragedy that occurred in the Puttingal temple at Paravur near Kollam in Kerala on April 10, 2016 was very disastrous and unfortunate. This sad incident that claimed more than 120 lives and made hundreds seriously injured shook not only the nooks and corners of the country but the whole world itself. Many world leaders ranging from Russian president Putin to Pope Francis expressed their deep grief and sent messages of condolences to all the affected persons.

Most of such calamities occur due to the negligence and carelessness of people who are connected with them. Many disastrous accidents in our country have claimed a number of precious lives. While we cannot do much to reduce natural and unpredictable calamities such as earth quakes or tsunamis, it is very unfortunate that neither our system nor our leaders do not open their eyes and act accordingly to prevent major man-made accidents in future. We are always taking it for granted when nothing happens adversely despite being careless and negligent in discharging our legitimate duties with no dedication or devotion.

If hundreds of people are killed and injured because of one drunken driver of a bus or train, whose fault it is? If drivers of public transports who are holding the lives of many in their hands, fall asleep, who should be blamed for the unfortunate results?

Now, coming to today's latest news, Kerala DGP Senkumar has made a statement today which has become a sensational topic in the political circles and people's views. While giving and interview to The Indian Express he said that he had objected the plan of the PM Modi (and the Cong vice-president Rahul Gandhi) to visit the the accident spot within hours of the tragedy, and had informed the SPG (who are incharge of the Prime Minister's security and visits) to postpone the PM's visit for the next day as the PM's visit would hamper the rescue and relief operations which were being done. Most of the people are backing the courage the DGP has shown to say things even to the PMO's office. 

As it is election time in Kerala, political parties will have special agendas and they may think that their visits may give them some mileage. But it is well known (well experienced) that any VIP who is having and needs special security must stay away from the sites of calamities, as giving them special protection will greatly affect the relief activities. Rescue and Relief activities are normally taken up not only by the police or other departments, but also by the public who often respond voluntarily and spontaneously with a selfless mind. Visits of people like Narendra Modi will keep away all these personnel and people and will be a hurdle for the relief works.

It will be ok if VVIPs remain in their places of comfort and 'express their shocks'. If they want they can engage their men and machineries to extend aid and support to the victims. Their personal visits will do 'NO' good to anyone who is suffering, but to some people belonging to thier parties. Their visits may only hinder the services of those people who are engaged in helping them. So, the visits of VIPs who need or have huge security for their personal protection, will do more bad than good.

Hence the majority of the people are supporting the stand of the Kerala DGP who is considered as a honest and people-friendly officer. If anyone (whether leaders or officials) wants to prevent such incidents in future, let their eyes become sighted and vigilant.
