Kerala
politics has been always controversial. Persons to party and the size and
time would vary.
Now this is the time of
Paloli Muhammad Kutty; the local administration minister. To be or not to
be: the question haunts him. He has declared that he would be ready to
resign but party should decide. “I am a member of Communist party (Marxist)
and the party assigned me the portfolio and I will follow the decision of
party” is his line.
His
speech against judiciary is a serious issue while considering his position,
some leaders including KPCC President has opined. Paloli has been always
considered to be a soft-tempered leader of CPM with public support.
He had
stayed away from all sort of party controversies and followed the party
doctrines always. Even his name was projected for Chief Minister’s post
during last Kerala assembly election.
Many
wonder how this soft man could attack judiciary in his speech. Some critics
say he could have avoided these kinds of controversies.
Many
court verdicts in recent times have been widely discussed among social
fraternity and political circles. But when a responsible minister opined
that verdicts are depended on currency power, no wonder he could have been
questioned.
