Mallus have no choice over politics right now

A Mallu like me is in great dilemma. Our small state Kerala, which is abundant with natural and human resources, is devoid of a great leader to take the state forward to the path of development.
Yes, one is true if he or she says Kerala is a progressive state. Yes, I do agree with him or her.
But how many of us can say that the progress achieved by the state is consciously done by politicians?

Do we have a great leader right now in Kerala to take the state forward? I mean one who keeps his political affiliations or his ideological differences away to work for the common good of people.I am afraid there is none.

Every five years, we choose someone as our representative and send them to the assembly with a belief that they are going to do wonders for us. And when we finally see that nothing is done, the term is over. We ignore the candidate and choose someone else. And if he is not different from the former, what is the point of going to the voting booth and casting our legal right?

Political parties in Kerala, be it the Congress or the Communists, are no different. Yes, communists did proclaim that they are ideologically progressive and miles ahead of others, but people can clearly see the hollowness of their tall claims.

Does that mean the Congress or its allies are different? Not at all. They remain unified only for the sake of power. Once they grab it, they are busy maintaining their hold to the chair of their powers. Unfortunately, we mallus never resalise this.

Is there an alternative? No, there is in fact none. We need to choose the better of the two evils.
Political parties should be ideologically stronger and their leaders should be visionaries. However, Kerala leaders are not blessed with these virtues.

It is time one should think of a change. A drastic change. Kerala people should show their guts to throw away the rulers who work only for their personal benefits. In this regard, I can say even not casting your votes for not putting these power hungry men is right thing.

Think before you vote whether the candidate and the party deserve it or not.
