    Kerala CM says the state is number one in corona fight. But statistics says otherwise as the state have 12th rank in covid testing. Thablighi data and details were kept as a state secret and after 45 days it was revealed that a Thablighi returnee who have three wives across state jumped quarantine and today arrested under Epidemic Disease Act. April 23rd, Kerala was in hurry to declare Idukki and Kottayam as green zone forgetting that neighboring Tamilnadu is raging with Kovid. Relaxation was offered more than permitted by central government. Upon receiving a strongly worded shau cause notice, the state reversed its mistakes within two days with grumbling. Today, both districts are red zones with indications of community spread. People who went out one day for Easter and Vishu across the state was beaten black and white for lockdown violations whereas one month long relaxation to go out without pass during 6 to 10 PM during Ramadan is permitted by Government. The state who criticized Karnataka for blocking Thalappady boarder has sealed entire Tamilnadu boarder and brothers has become enemies overnight. It seems, the communist government is under captivity of its overseas handlers and policy lapses has brought this state worst than West Bengal in Covid fight.....! But Press Conference and extravaganza continue unlimited at the cost of lives and livelihood of people....!

    Kerala and WB 2 commi states hiding real data. Kerala started marketing itself so that its major population who work abroad don't get any hurdles from foreign countries to travel.
