Doesn't that civet know that Pinarayi Vijayan is residing at Cliff House...? Kerala’s Marxist Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said during an official ceremony on February 29, 2024 that a civet was regularly urinating on his white dresses. He did not say whether he was in it or not while. He also said that if he put a glass of water on the table to drink, it will come and sprinkle it with holy water. No one went to ask if his ironed shirts were usually just left on the table, if always a glass of water was left uncovered, if this urinating was done only on his clothes or on all other people’s clothes too, if the Thondi was handed over to the Cantonment Police Station and a Mahazar registered accusing anyone of conspiracy, and if anyone was booked and arrested without bail on this account, because everyone knows from seeing and hearing a lot about him that he is going to tear down the Cliff House and build a new one there, to spend millions of people’s money and pocket a lot. People also know that this speech hinting a civet problem in his official government residence is a foreword and preface to it. For a long time now, the hints for dismantling and rebuilding this government residential building has been dropped here and there vaguely by him and his cronies: he has been building up momentum and preparing people for this extravagance.

Usually, when someone tells such a story, that part of his name would immediately and invariably be changed from Pinarayi to Marapatti (Civet), which is usual for the people of Kerala. Don't know if it has already been done.

These grand palaces were built during the Travancore royal rule and given to these Ministers and Chief Minister as official residences by the government of Kerala- regardless of the facilities they had in their own houses where they were born and raised in, without asking how many rooms there were in their houses, whether they had toilets, whether they had electricity, whether they had pathway for a car or didn’t even have one for a bicycle. Anyway, these ministers and the chief minister are dissatisfied with these houses. Why doesn’t the Chief Minister ask for the Kowdiar Palace? Civets are their problem! It is Elephants and Tigers passing through the houses of the people who elected them and temporarily handed over to them their own powers- entering their houses and snatching them away. After receiving salary for solving such problems, these ministers and the chief minister say civets are their problem!

It must indeed be true that the food, water and ironed clothes in the Chief Minister’s residence Cliff House are dripping with urine but who knows its’ the civet’s? He is a very old man, has many ailments treated at foreign countries including as distant and secure lands as America, and has utter fear of many things including all black things. Who knows what is actually happening there in that building?
