Edakochi stadium is a HOAX

                                         When my cronies and me sabotaged the Kerala Cricket Association’s (2006- under then secretary) decision to construct a cricket stadium at Trivandrum, we had a long plan and a well laid out stratagem. First we ignored the Kerala Government’s offer of free land in Trivandrum and decided to have a stadium in Kochi. Why Kochi?- It was like 2 birds with one stone. I have some land at Kochi, which I will sell to BCCI at an exorbitant rate. However, before I sell the land to BCCI, I would want to make some crores with some game by fooling the idiots of Kerala, especially Kochi machus. The game is like this - We will buy some land in Kochi that should have problems and that will enable us to not to a build a stadium. Fortunately, we could find 24 acres of desolate swamp in the Vemband Lake with mangroves, at Edakochi. We encroached it and bruited that we bought it for Rs.30 crore. BCCI paid the 30 crore to us and got a grant from Kerala Government to avoid tax worth more than a crore. We were sure that some environmentalist would come and stop the construction of the stadium because of the mangroves in the swamp or if no body turns up, we will have some asshole paid to do the job. Ultimately, our motive was not to have a stadium at Edakochi, but to earn profit out of this transaction and shift the stadium location to my own land. If you have a tinge of common sense, you will understand that you cannot build even a small house let alone a big stadium in this hopeless swamp. To our joy, some people came and complained to the Ministry that we destroyed the mangroves. The chapter was closed then and there, and not before we made 30 crores out of it.  When the environment ministry would not give the approval for Edakochi stadium, our plan was to shift the stadium construction to my land at Udayamperoor and for that; we will offer to sell it to BCCI. Again, we would make big crores. Overall, we will have profit and only profit out of these transactions. If somebody raises the issue that we have hijacked the proposed cricket stadium at Trivandrum, we would stir up the regional spirit within the idiots in Kochi and make a fight out of it. What an idea? Hai na? ദീപസ്തംബം മഹാശ്ചര്യം നമ്മുക്കും കിട്ടേണം പണം !!
