In the meritocracy of Kerala's former Chief Ministers, it is perhaps unprecedented that a former CM has found himself under the scanner of agencies such as the ED and SFIO. Yet, in a display of astonishing political judgment, the CPM has once again elevated Pinarayi Vijayan to a position of leadership. If the objective is to replicate in Kerala the political decline that befell the CPM in West Bengal, this appears to be a remarkably efficient strategy. Few parties seem so committed to hammering the final nails into their own coffin.

The Enforcement Directorate today grilled the former Kerala CPM Chief Minister’s daughter, and the revelations are shortly to come out, nothing short of damning. Both the ED and SFIO have unearthed incriminating evidence showing she pocketed emoluments running into millions—without lifting a finger or rendering a shred of service. In plain words, it was a shameless cash pipeline, a kickback masquerading as payment, designed to funnel quid pro quo benefits straight to the CM. The brazenness of this scheme is almost comical: money for nothing, corruption for everything.

Banning Telegram to “protect” NEET-UG is nothing but a confession of failure. If the NTA’s system were truly secure, it wouldn’t need to silence an app. This move is not strength—it’s panic. Instead of proving reliability, the ban exposes the NTA’s weakness and lack of confidence. In plain terms: they don’t trust their own exam, so they’re blaming social media. It’s a clumsy cover-up that only confirms their inability to conduct NEET-UG properly.

@AxisBankSupport Now today I have sent another email to pno Ms Deepti. Let me see whether she will address it.

[Roy Markose @RoyMarkose3]

@AxisBank @AxisBankSupport Please accept my sincere appreciation for the efforts and initiative taken by Ms. Soumya J. S. and Ms. Merlin Edward of Thiruvananthapuram Pattom Branch, Kerala in resolving an issue that had remained pending for over a month.

Prior to its resolution, I had lodged several complaints through the grievance redressal mechanisms available on your website. Regrettably, these attempts did not result in any meaningful progress.

As the matter continued to remain unresolved, it was escalated to your Nodal Officer, Mr. Jinit Thakkar, on 26 May and subsequently to your Principal Nodal Officer, Ms. Deepti Radkar, on 2 June. Unfortunately, despite these escalations, the issue did not receive the attention, urgency, or effective response that one would ordinarily expect through such channels.

Against this backdrop, the proactive intervention, diligence, and customer-centric approach displayed by Ms. Soumya J. S. and Ms. Merlin Edward merit special recognition. Their commitment and responsiveness ultimately brought the matter to a satisfactory resolution.

It would not be an exaggeration to state that their timely intervention spared the Bank the inconvenience and reputational implications of proceedings before the Banking Ombudsman, which had by then become the only remaining avenue available to me for redressal.

I once again place on record my deep appreciation for their professionalism, responsiveness, and exemplary commitment to customer service. Their efforts stand out as a fine example of the standards that customers expect from a premier banking institution.

[Roy Markose @RoyMarkose3]

@AxisBankSupport Pls advise your NO -Mr. Jinit Thakkar and PNO -Ms Deepti Radkar to be more responsive to customer complaints.

@vkprasanthtvpm Wishing the couple a blessed, purposeful, and happy wedding anniversary. May their journey together be with love, joy, good health, and meaningful moments..

Raising a hue and cry of three Kerala VCs attending a meeting addressed by Mohan Bhagwat, RSS chief is inappropriate and without understanding the perspective. Just by attending a meeting doesn't mean they are subscribing to their ideology. These three individuals are primarily academicians. We read various books authored by individuals of different hues, religion, culture and even of those whom we dislike because of their ideologies irrespective of their standing. Similarly hearing is another form of reading as gaining knowledge is primarily a process of engaging with diverse viewpoints and ideas. Academic leaders, in particular, are expected to remain open to different perspectives, interact with people across ideological spectrums, and encourage intellectual inquiry. Attending a lecture or meeting should not automatically be construed as endorsement of the speaker's beliefs. Rather, it reflects a willingness to listen, understand, and critically evaluate ideas, which is fundamental to education and scholarship.

When individuals with such a questionable background find their way into positions of public responsibility in Thiruvananthapuram Municipal corporation, it becomes easier to understand why good governance remains elusive. If this is the benchmark for leadership, the nation's progress can only be expected to move in reverse gear.

@vkprasanthtvpm CPM diehards still display more sycophancy towards Che Guevara than towards Gandhiji.

[Roy Markose @RoyMarkose3]

Heartiest congratulations and best wishes to the new ADGP (Law & Order), @Ipsvijayan, on assuming this important responsibility.
May his tenure be marked by exemplary leadership, professional excellence, and unwavering commitment to fair and impartial policing. Wishing him every success in further strengthening law and order, enhancing public confidence in the police force, and fostering a safe, secure, and peaceful environment for all residents of Kerala.

Of the galaxy of Kerala's former Chief Ministers—here is the undisputed champion of public resentment, disdain, disapproval, detested, despised, allegedly corrupt and the only former CM subject to close, intense scrutiny by ED and SFIO.

[Roy Markose @RoyMarkose3]

Under the stewardship of Pinarayi Vijayan and M.V. Govindan, the Kerala CPM appears to have perfected the art of self-destruction, marching confidently into the very well they dug for themselves—much like their predecessors did in West Bengal.

[Roy Markose @RoyMarkose3]

Revanth Reddy may only have admired Hitler from afar. Pinarayi Vijayan, on the other hand, seems determined to turn admiration into imitation, action and practical demonstration

[Roy Markose @RoyMarkose3]

The verdict of interim bail granted by the relevant judicial body to the five security associates of Pinarayi Vijayan charged with criminal case for assaulting peaceful demonstrators was perhaps the least surprising development in the entire case. The outcome was a foregone conclusion, the reasons are very much known to all, too evident.

[Roy Markose @RoyMarkose3]

Mr. V. D. Satheesan, you have consistently advocated fiscal prudence to revive Kerala's strained finances. In that context, discussions on distributing chairmanships of government corporations—many of which are widely viewed as white elephants—among front constituents appear contradictory.

If austerity and reform are the goals, the example must come from the leadership. Leaders should lead by example, not perpetuate practices that add to the burden on the public exchequer.

[Roy Markose @RoyMarkose3]

As nationwide calls for Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation grow louder, Narendra Modi's silence has become more conspicuous than ever. Lakhs of youngsters anxiously watching their careers and futures being jeopardized expected accountability and reassurance. Instead, they have been met with a wall of silence. If leadership means listening to the voice of the people, this prolonged silence conveys a troubling message—that the aspirations, anxieties, and futures of the nation's youth are not important enough to warrant a response.
