Article 356 of the Indian Constitution provides various options to enforce presidential rule in a state. The state of Kerala is undergoing such a precarious situation for quite sometime. The state do not have adequate finance to meet the day to day needs. In the absence of pension few people reported to have committed suicide and few others have started begging. In some department, salary too is held up. According to media reports many government hospitals do not have medicine to treat the patients. Surgery is suspended in some hospitals. Road accidents are mounting due to lack of maintenance of roads. There are such umpteen number of cases in the state. There is nothing seems to be at hand to overcome the existing dilemma.
There is only two ways to subdue the present situation. One is that the Central Government may discuss with the state and assess their financial needs and extend assistance accordingly. The other option is to impose President rule in the state and declare Assembly election as early as possible. Since the poor and middle class people are the extreme sufferers and no way is in the vicinity to escape from this situation the Central Government is requested to take a decision on red hot priority.
