P C Chacko adamant on withdrawing Saseendran from Pinarayi cabinet
The New Indian Express Kochi
|December 20, 2024
THE state unit of the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-SP), a constituent of the LDF, is in a dilemma as Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has cold-shouldered its demand to elevate Kuttanad MLA Thomas K Thomas as minister.
NCP-SP state president and national working president P C Chacko has taken a tough stand that colleague and forest minister A K Saseendran should step down honouring the party decision. However, Saseendran said the move will strain the relationship between the NCP-SP, a long-time ally of the LDF, and the CPM.
Though Chacko had opposed Thomas's demand to share ministership a year ago, he changed his stand six months ago. Meanwhile, it is learnt that Pinarayi is not willing to replace Saseendran, who shares a good rapport with him. Allegations against Thomas also prompted the CPM to not heed the party's demand to change the minister.

Hathras in 2024 at a religious satsang, where followers stampede in a rush of blind devotion, while the state machinery busies itself trying to control the narrative. Even at the greatest of religious festivals, the Kumbh Mela, where millions gather, crowd-related deaths occur with horrifying regularity, often covered up and casually dismissed as a ‘logistical inevitability.’

Peanuts, Priorities, and the Flow of Time
Not long ago, I had a conversation with a CEO who, somewhere between checking his phone and adjusting his tie, declared: “I just don’t have time to pursue what I really want.” It was a very solemn moment. Almost moving. Had it not been for the fact that, during our 20-minute chat, he checked his phone 17 times. That's once every 45 seconds—20 if you subtract the part where he closed his eyes and said “Mmm” to pretend he was listening
