One of the Marxist Party’s suporters’ and members’ arguments in praise of the Health Minister K. K. Shailaja is that under her Kerala effectively controlled the spread of Corona virus in Kerala by March 2021. If that had happened, there would not have been anymore spread of the virus and a resultant lockdown in Kerala during May 2021. So, even party members differ in their opinion on whether she was a success or not in controlling corona virus during December 2020- April 2021. How could they say she was a success when there never was abatement but a relentlessness in the spreading of this virus throughout Kerala, except in departmental statistics for the month of March 2021 to suit her reelection, and they are all lying in their death beds?

There are electoral victories and moral and fair victories in elections. Marxist Party members, sympathizers and propagandists picture Health Minister K. K. Shailaja’s victory in the 2021 state assembly elections with the highest margin from her native constitunency as a moral victory and a sign of her success in controlling epidemics in Kerala. Since the outbreak of Corona Virus in Kerala the heath department got one full year to create infrastructure to meet its second outspread which had been predicted far earlier. But still in 2021 May, notably after the assembly elections and her party’s victory, the health department had not installed any of the needed infrastructure and admitted that unless a lockdown was enforced there was no way to treat the increasing number of patients in hospitals and their coming to hospitals has to be prevented by curtailing their freedom of movement. If some people in the state and in a legislative constituency consider this an act of courage and wisdom to be applauded, then let them elect her again to the state assembly with the highest margin in the state! Let them earnestly believe that this is what is believed to be success and that she is a great success as a heath minister!! She squandered precious available time of one full year and an unlimited source of state and central resources within which time and utilizing which the could have put in place an endless line of hospital beds, oxygen plants, staff, and everything else required to treat any number of people in-hospital but for her. Today, as of the day of writing this article, the death rate of corona virus-affected people in Kerala is 95 per day and already 6053 dead, thanks to a pig-headed health minister and a chief minister. They compare this death rate with other states and declare that is is satisfactory comparatively! When people die there have always been people who praise the killers as heroes.
