After a no confidence motion in Kerala the previous day, any man with a common sense would look with suspicion when a fire breaks out in the secretariat and some files get ‘burnt’.

When I heard this news, I am amazed at how this storyline is actually developing. In clinical medicine, we are taught to think of the common differential diagnosis, and not to give much relevance to the uncommon. The common here is that the fire is scandalous. The fall of a government that has had to deal with numerous natural perils during this tenure means there is no justice to this slogan of the left.
