Simple concept is implemented here:::: A BIG news regarding decrease has been highlighted.

As and when it is increased no media will show rather people will be diverted towards other issues just because not to raise any negative impact.

Let KA govt dare to adopt Delhi govt to provide 200 units of Free electricity.

Well educated, good decision makers , intelects and wise people are keralites.

Kerala is unique in India for cordial relation between different religions. However, this is not being digested by sanghis and are trying to build gulf between the communities. I am sure that people will not let theese anti national succeed in their wicked behaviour. This communal harmoney is a slap on the faces of enemies of society. Well done keralites. Salute to all of you.
