While I agree with some points raised by Rajwade , I cannot but differ with him on the specific question of Coke and pepsi ban in Kerala. People in the village where coke had a factory had been protesting againts the MNC for a long time now. The fact that water tables are going down and a large chunk of water available was being used by Coco-Cola company was widely acknowledged even by experts. And it was the people - and not any political party-which led the fight against coke. It was not a one man show by the kerala's present CM. It was a highly sensitive issue which he toook adavantage of - as a then opposition leader. He lived up to his promise on becoming CM-and they are still celebrating this ba that village and other parts of Kerala. I thionk kerala govt did the right thing. No investment is worth the health of the nation
