Kerala's curse from time it became a single state after the Kingdoms were dismantled after independence has been a story of steady deterioration. Missing out on every opportunity the state could have relished like the green revolution, IT revolution and the power sector reforms. Acute shortage of power is a big drawback to the state and poor road conditions another. In the near future this state would go dry too for want of drinking water. All the rains that pour down on the state just flow down into the sea without being properly managed. This is sheer wastage of natural resources. Kerala has a bunch of political morons who are out there to grab power at any cost and this has consistently turned Kerala to be a retrogressive state. All the merits it gained over the last decade would vanish into thin air when other southern states catch up - anyways the northern states are not a worth a mention when it comes to any mention of economic development.
