Months ago a WhatsApp link was circulated in Kerala and its stated mission was - One India, One Pension. Each senior citizen would get Rs 10,000 pm
The message asked them to join a WA group.
This message was targeted at people above 55, including my parents.

Many people like my parents, who have mostly lived in Kerala, where the Govt works decently, believed ‘One India, One Pension’ is possible.
They said that other countries have it, so why not? True. Why not?
But Kerala is not India. India is not Scandinavia.

Being a journalist and having known of similar groups in other states, I warned them that this is a BJP/RSS-funded group.
They refused to believe that it could be BJP/RSS backed. I told them that they will begin to propagate soft BJP opinions closer to elections.

They did not see that only RSS-BJP could have funds to run such a micro group for each panchayat in each district.
Economics trumped my words. My father joined the group. Insisted I enroll my mother’s number too.

Why am I bringing it up now? An hour ago their FB page put out a post stating that the BJP state President K Surendran has assured his support for the OIOP scheme.
It said Surendran has assured that the pension scheme is going to materialise.

‘As BJP’s K Surendran has promised us our long cherished dream, you must step out to campaign & work for your local BJP candidate in the upcoming Panchayat polls.’
Ominously it adds, ‘we will help those who help us’
Can it get any clearer. Stay clear.

To fudge the #BJP/RSS connection, even OIOP is putting up candidates.
Remember #IndiaAgainstCorruption team?
This had to be put out so that people are aware.

Sorry. Last one. A few of the #OIOP candidates standing for Panchayat elections in Kerala.
How does this new group have so much money, is the question to be asked.
This is the beginning of Kerala’s election season. EOM
