Kerala: Satheesan govt seeks to reshape governance in first 120 days
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 12 (IANS) Four months after the Congress-led UDF returned to power following a decade of LDF rule, Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan is seeking to establish a new style of governance with a focus on welfare delivery, clearing pending dues and making government services more accessible. Satheesan said the government has outlined 12 themes under the banner A Government with the People Transforming Keralam to showcase its priorities since assuming office on May 18. The emphasis is on issues that directly affect people's lives. These include welfare pensions, women's free travel on KSRTC buses, healthcare, farmers' payments, employment and faster delivery of public services. Clearing long-pending dues is a key part of the government's agenda. He also highlighted the settlement of arrears owed to paddy farmers, Rs. 310 crore in pending scholarships for backwards-class students and an allocation of Rs. 200 crore towards old liabilities of the Health Department. Another Rs. 32 crore has been sanctioned to clear welfare pension arrears for expatriates. These measures seek to address grievances that have persisted for years. However, the government will have to ensure that the remaining dues are cleared and fresh arrears do not accumulate. Women's welfare has received considerable attention. The initiatives include free bus travel, interest-free loans, support for women fish vendors and higher wages for ASHA workers. A health insurance scheme offering coverage of up to Rs. 25 lakh is another major announcement. Its impact will depend on effective implementation and the availability of funds. The government is also seeking to improve Kerala's investment climate. Simplified approvals, new industrial zones and the development of Vizhinjam port and related maritime activities are expected to support economic growth and generate jobs. For young people, the focus is on artificial intelligence, robotics, emerging careers and improved sports facilities. The government has also highlighted measures to simplify land services, tackle drug abuse and corruption, and reduce the threat of wildlife attacks. The 12 themes reflect an attempt to combine immediate welfare measures with longer-term economic and administrative reforms. The political challenge for Satheesan is to translate these promises into visible results. Faster approvals must lead to more investment. Employment initiatives must create opportunities. Welfare announcements must reach their intended beneficiaries without delay. After ten years of LDF rule, the Congress-led government is keen to demonstrate that a change in government can bring a change in governance. The first 120 days have set out its priorities. The real test will be whether these initiatives improve public services, ease financial distress and create jobs in the months ahead.

War of words between former Kerala CM Vijayan, former Congress MLA Mamkootathil escalates
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 12 (IANS) Former Congress MLA Rahul Mamkootathil on Monday hit back at CPI-M veteran Pinarayi Vijayan, asking the former Kerala Chief Minister to concentrate on securing bail for himself, his daughter Veena, and son-in-law Mohammed Riyas in the CMRL-Exalogic case instead of questioning his role in the Congress. Mr Vijayan, do not make me recount your history and that of your kitchen cabinet, Mamkootathil said in a strongly worded social media post, responding to Vijayans remarks in the Assembly on Monday about the former legislators alleged influence over the Congress and the police in Adoor in Pathanamthitta district. Instead of looking into my affairs, Mr Vijayan, first go and seek bail for yourself, your daughter and your son-in-law in the case involving the receipt of illegal money, he said. The sharp exchange came on a day the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau registered an FIR in the CMRL-Exalogic case, naming Vijayan as the first accused and his daughter, T. Veena, as the second accused. Challenging Vijayans allegation that a person who was no longer in the Congress was controlling the party in Adoor and influencing police operations there, Mamkootathil hit back, saying the Congress in Adoor was controlled by its MLA and the local leaders of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee, District Congress Committee and block committees, not by him. He also maintained that the police were answerable to their own officers, including the Superintendent of Police, Deputy Superintendent of Police, and Circle Inspector. On his involvement, Mamkootathil said he had already made it clear that he would stand by his colleagues if they faced trouble, even at the cost of his life. Turning the attack on Vijayans family, he questioned why DYFI and SFI activists had faced police action and imprisonment over allegations involving payments to Veenas company, asking what connection she had with the CPI-M. Vijayan, without naming Mamkootathil directly in his Assembly speech, had questioned who had entered and attacked a police vehicle during a night march in Adoor and alleged that the police were acting according to the instructions of a person who was not even a Congress member. The remarks came amid continuing clashes between DYFI and Youth Congress workers in Adoor. Several people, including Mamkootathil and CPI-M Adoor area Secretary Manoj, were injured in the violence. Mamkootathil, who was expelled from the Congress last year after allegations of sexual misconduct by three women surfaced, was arrested in one of the cases and spent several days in jail before securing bail. He obtained anticipatory bail in the other two cases. The latest exchange adds another layer to the long-running political hostility between the two leaders, who had crossed swords in the Assembly when Mamkootathil was an MLA and Vijayan was Chief Minister.

Digital Desk | Bhopal, Oct 12 (IANS) Madhya Pradesh Minister Vishwas Sarang on Monday accused the Congress of creating disorder and confusion in the country, questioning how Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were elected to Parliament if the Election Commission of India (ECI) was functioning incorrectly. Sarang's remarks came amid the Congress-led INDIA Bloc's march towards the Supreme Court, seeking the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over the controversy surrounding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Opposition leaders have alleged irregularities in the revision exercise and raised concerns over the electoral rolls, while the BJP has defended the process and accused the Congress of politicising the issue. Speaking to IANS, Sarang launched a sharp attack on Rahul Gandhi, alleging that the Congress leader repeatedly attempted to create confusion and unrest in the country. Spreading chaos has become a habit for Rahul Gandhi. If the Election Commission was at fault, how would Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi have reached the Lok Sabha, and how would your governments have been formed in Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, and Kerala? Creating chaos and confusion is Rahul Gandhi's habit, and he is constantly seeking to pursue a politics of divisiveness in the country, Sarang said. The INDIA bloc leaders had also sought an appointment with Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant to discuss their concerns. However, the CJI declined their request and advised them to approach the court through a petition in accordance with the established legal procedure. Gandhi announced that Opposition leaders would march towards the apex court later in the day to initiate the legal process and appealed to citizens to join their campaign in support of the Constitution and democracy. Following this, a bus carrying Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi and other INDIA bloc leaders departed from the Constitution Club of India towards the Supreme Court. Speaking to reporters, Congress MP Manish Tewari said, We want to submit a representation to the Hon'ble Supreme Court. Therefore, the entire Opposition is collectively going to Barakhamba Road. Let's see where it goes from here. Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi alleged that the BJP was apprehensive about losing power. The BJP is scared. They know that power will not remain with them for much longer, he told the reporters.
