The  State of Kerala is passing through some of the worst times in it's financial history. The successive governments have not done anything considerable to enhance  the revenue of the state. For decades our revenue is primarily centred on taxes, liquor sales and lottery.9 Something is received from tourism too. We are practically more depended on loan that too without any available resources for repayment.

There was a report in the media in the recent past about a motor bike thief who had stolen a good number of bikes....
