Minister Promises to Repair the Roads Before December 30th

Minister M Vijayakumar has promised to repair the roads across various districts in Kerala before 30th of December 2010. He also promised to fix the Sabarimala roads before 15th and he has stated that frequent rains have been a big barrier for the maintenance of the roads in Kerala. Right now the government of Kerala has started filling the poth holes in the major roads of Kerala and the minister says that he is directly involved in the maintenance of roads across the 14 districts of Kerala.

Before Onam a minister in Kerala had claimed that he would repair all the pothholes and other issues associated with the roads in Kerala and that too before Onam. But that man has not been able to even fill even a single pothhole and his promises seems to be vanished in the air. I would not be surprised if Minister M Vijayakumar's promise would  dissolve somewhere and by December 31st he would not even remember about such a promise made by him.

If this has to come true, a huge amount of money has to fall into the pockets of some dirty people (mainly politicians) involved in the construction and maintenance of the roads. If at any stage they find that they would not get any financial gains with a road maintenance or any other public construction works, their enthusiasm would dip and the maintenance plans would vanish.

Even in such a big city like Cochin, the Government is really looking idle and the Cochin corporation authorities seems to be not at all interested in any developments inside the city for which they do not have any monetary gains. It is quite evident from the present state of the so called city called Cochin,  where the infrastructure is too pathetic. The Cochin corporation office is another place where one does not wish to visit in his / her life time as we have to bribe heavily in order to get our things done from the side of corporation.

Anyways lets hope that Minister M Vijayakumar keeps his promise so that we can enjoy a good ride through the roads of Kerala.
