Mathrubhumi (a news paper which I started reading nearly 35 years back) changed ownership and is now with a dubious businessman MP
Veerendrakumar M.P. He surprisingly is a jain (like A.Shah), and ever since his taking over the reputation of the Mathrubhumi group published news paper and magazine took a nose dive. Now they have become completely partisan and are pretty much openly anti-Hindu. There are strong rumours that the group is surviving on advertisement revenue mainly from "peacefool" business establishments; and now they actually have a major control on the editorial policy. The reason for firing the editor was he allowed a novellete with lots of anti-Hindu references to be published in their weekly magazine. Here the
Sangh was clearly active; there were door to door campaigns asking people to stop subscribing to the Mathrubhumi publications. A few Hindu business groups stopped giving advertisements to the publishers. With a revenue hit, Mathrubhumi had to change their tactics.
In the Sabari Mala issue, again looks like the "revenue providers" for Mathrubhumi are now pulling the strings as the news paper has openly taken a stance against the Hindu belief system. In fact when each woman activist made an attempt to enter the shrine, the news channel and newspaper were getting an orgasm. That could be felt in their reporting style.
As I write this BJP's Amit Shah is in Kerala.
His speech at Kannur clearly indicated that BJP is now 100% involved in the Sabari Mala issue and would stand with the Ayyappa devotees. Now he is a person who never makes statements without having a plan in mind, and most likely he would have discussed the plan with the central govt. as well.
Now that you mentioned it, I too tend to agree with you on one aspect. Com. Pinarayi Vijayan is a puppet (strong willed & stubborn, though) who is being used by very many other groups who may be part of the BIF. The state government seems to be actually hijacked by other groups who are all behind the scene. In Kerala, even in CPI(M) there are two types of leaders. The educated, well read & soft spoken leaders - mainly seen in South Kerala. There is also the "tailoring teachers", uncouth and ignorant type leaders - mainly from North Kerala. The government is under the control of the North Kerala based leadership and the quality is actually understood.
Consider the "foreign land" visits of the Chief Minister. Last time he visited UAE (along with his family, and the usual
chamchas of the bureaucracy). He was like on a conducted tour program planned by M.A Yusuf Ali a businessman who will demand his own "pound of flesh". The Chief Minister is unable to command respect and articulate things to any one at UAE, and so had to rely on third parties. Nothing fruitful came out of the UAE visit. Then there was the grand plan to send around 18 ministers from Kerala, to selected countries all across the world. This was another "family tour" program, which luckily was shot down by the central government. Many of the ministers who were to travel, jolly well knew that without their "minister" tag they would not even get a VISA stamped on their passport. If they applied for a VISA as a normal citizen and supplied their "credentials" their VISA application would go flying out of the window. The inherent cheapness and poverty in their mindset, gave them the idea of visiting foreign lands by hook or crook. This is when Malayalis all across the world clearly said that they have already contributed in what ever way they can. In today's "connected world" no body needs to visit these NRKs with a bucket in their hands and beg for money. The commies knew this, but then considering their cheap mentality we can guess that they actually wanted to make the floods to make some good foreign country visits (a once in a life time chance for them).
