Distracted by peripherals such as Sabarimala young women entry row and the consequent Women Wall, Kerala Government appears to dither on the most important task of rebuilding Kerala post-deluge.
There are several pointers to the rebuild paralysis, especially the fact that an Advisory Council, which is expected to filter all proposals under the Kerala Rebuild Initiative, presided by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and supposed to meet once in a fortnight, has not met in the last two and half months.
What finally decides the fate of the grandiose plan envisioned for Kerala is how well and timely it is implemented. There is a maze of committees, some advisory while others empowered, whatever that means, besides, of course, the Rebuild Kerala Initiative, which would be guided by an advisory committee headed by the Chief Minister and consisting of the Opposition leader, ministers, top officials and representatives of industry and other sectors. Yet, it is not clear where exactly the buck starts and where it stops.
