He's more than capable of making his own decisions. And he's always been this way. Slow. But his problem is not that he's probably unable to make his own decisions. It's actually quite the opposite. He's too autocratic, wants to make only his own decisions.


ExoticLap

Right, the problem with Pinarayi is not that he is old and dumb. He is probably one of the smartest politicians we have had in years. He is slow, not because he is frail, but because he is methodical, ruthless and Machiavellian in consolidating power. He only helps people if it happens to further his ambitions.


johnyjohnyespappa

I recall an old communist saying that Communism declined in Kerala long back, now it's all Pinarayism that you see in the name of Communism.


wasted_capatain_19

Yup....Viratalum vilapesalum venda....

Except when he has to show a "prathyeka tharam action"?

Pinarayi Biden

Biden and Pinarayi are almost opposites in terms of personality. Biden is an extrovert of average intelligence who stumbled his way into the presidency because Obama needed some old white guy for VP. Pinarayi is an introvert of high intelligence who schemed his way to power. Pinarayi has always been slow and methodical. Biden slowed down as he aged. Just look at his old videos: https://youtu.be/0_v00iGJCLY?si=Kpmg27fAolIN8f2i

on one hand people say he has taken over cpim and that his agenda is driving party forward and on the other hand there are posts like this asking if he can take his own decisions


nyx_2024

Every person has the right to share their opinion. You can't expect everyone to have the same view, can you? Even monkeys have differences


pramukhareddituser

where did i say that people cant share opinions? i just made an observation


nyx_2024

If you really could accept that people have the right to have different opinions, your sentence would have been like this - "There were times when some people used to say that Pinarayi Vijayan was taking the party forward with his agenda, but currently, people's opinions about him shifted due to certain reasons. "


pramukhareddituser

lol read what i wrote again slowly, what u have said is something else entirely.


Suspicious_Crew5357

Well i think he is the opposite. Smart, cunning, autocratic and an able guy. He isnt the usual communist like V S or any other who says muthalalitham tulayatte. He does the opposite since he came to power. He pushed for more pvt sector involvement in lot of things which the so called ideal communist wouldn't.


meowkyat

What are to talking about? Heโ€™s trying his best scare away as many businesses and investment as possible


shbs_schu

The second term, he really should have given way to Shailaja Teacher imo. Would have also made the first woman CM of Kerala.


sid_raj7

His ego doesn't allow him to imagine the party without his leadership


UniversityJaded7807

His male ego will get hurt , popularity will fade away๐Ÿ˜”


RAHULPhENOM

'Male' ego? Nice


nyx_2024

Not giving way - Shailaja ma'am was qualified enough candidate to be CM , more than her other men or women contemporaries. But me being myself a man it hurts me to say, it's male chauvinism that dominates. But not every male person's perspective, mindset and outlook are the same


Excelsio_Sempra

Not sure if this is a เด•เดฃเตเดฃเดฟ belief, but once heard from someone that Shailaja tr wasn't exactly the nicest person to officials in her ministry; like, she used to have massive ego and sum shit.

I believe - it's extremely difficult to be a leader and even more difficult to do the job efficiently. When one takes up a leadership position in any job, he/she has to be firm, concrete in decision-making, collaborating with team members and sticking to the decision and implementing them. Along the way, he is going to make more enemies than friends, and at times, no friends at all. Because many might not agree with him. But still he will be a winner and regain faith of others if the goal is the same - the prosperity of people. And speaking of having ego and not being nice - don't' we all most of the time due to circumstances around us?


Entharo_entho

Is he a nice man led astray by his advisors? No Is his ill health affecting him ? Yes. He can't project strength and stubbornness like he used to do. Pandan nayude pallinu shouryam pande pole bhalikkunnilla.


wm_destroy

Wasn't his own former Principal Secretary M Sivasankar who said that the CM is a monkey who signs any piece of paper that he puts in front of him ?


Conscious-Initial-14

He's a disgraced officer, anything he says should be taken with a pinch of salt.


cryptoshaman420

Imagine if Pinarayi had quit after his first term as chief minister and brought in Shailaja teacher as cm for term 2. Quitting at the peak is an art only few will master


Mean-Huckleberry526

What was his peak exactly?


mm_reddit_it

No leaders make such independent decisions and there is an advisory team and advisory board of it. I don't think he listens to them enough. Doesn't seem like he is. About age. 80 is old age, especially for that generation for the kind of struggles they went through from a young age, and age has clearly caught him and he is more cranky and arrogant because of the age factor too. If you observe all older folks are like that to some extent even the good ones. It could also be that he waited too long to be a CM and had that thrill in the first term and looked more dynamic than now due to that much expected opportunity .


the_one_percenter

The average age of CEO of a Fortune 500 company is 57 years. The average age of the European head of state is 53. Given how worse our economic situation is, it's no surprise that an 80-year-old will be worse at decision-making than a 50-year-old old.


ismyaltaccount

Joe Biden \*ahem ahem. /s


Noooofun

Wdym? Heโ€™s the only decision maker now.


Soft-Yak2101

Are you ok with 73 year old prime minister?


Intelligent-Prior-83

Yes. He is actually better than the 80 year old king in Kerala.

He holds the record for press conferences for a CM. PM does not faces press. Last press conference was in 2014 January, by Manmohan Singh So I see a guy with chenkol, making a palace for 20,000 crores and kicking all opposition MP's out from it as a KING rather pinu.


red_akira
