The news today is that there is still some uncertainty about the Smart City. The CM affirms that there is no truth in the rumours: the spokesmen of DIC are non-committal. The audacity of the Kerala Government to ask for the Chairman's post(to be gifted to some local CITU leader) seems to have come in the way. Let us wait and see.
The Education Minister has said that those who come into the field of education should uphold certain values. Something that is not essential in politicians. But, it is a great thing that he knows of the existance of certain desirable values , somewhere. All the teachers organizations, especially leftist, who are mainly responsible for converting the teacher's profession into a business rather than a commitment should listen to Baby's words.
Finally, the Sports lottery is over. Targetting 200 Crores, it earned only less than 30 crores.
(This at least proves that the people of Kerala are not as foolish as the FM who believed that Kerala's Financial woes could be overcome by making a 2000 crore business of Lottery annually.) Of this, 2 Crores will be set apart for the benefit of Sports , whereas 3 crores were spent on advertisement alone. Nice way of doing things - collecting 30 crores from the ordinary people and spending 28 crores to 'amass' 2 Crores for Sports!
