Kerala Voters Decoded!



  •       We don’t like politicians smarter than us, just as we don’t like actors looking better than us.
  •       We don’t trust politicians who act like they are better than us. We don’t understand this. When all are fundamentally equal, how can one person have more honesty? How can one person have more integrity? He may be a fascist. We are not Stalinists. Are you a capitalist? 
  •    We don’t want politicians to govern us. We prefer them to stay within their limits and entertain us.
  •       We don’t want politicians to develop us. We will develop ourselves. They can develop themselves. As long as they don’t show off, we don’t mind.
  •    Some states may give all seats so that they get a PM. We don’t do that kind of politics. If there is a chance of a Malayali becoming even a minister, we will defeat him in election.
  •    We believe in the importance of opposition in a vibrant democracy. We are committed to strengthening the opposition in every national election. Sometimes we miscalculate. Sometimes our MPs betray us and join the ruling coalition. It is not our fault.
