Another Congress Factional leader A K Antony (leader of the A group - rival faction in congress) was planning to topple Karunakaran to install himself as the chief minister.

If Antony had to replace, they had to make, Karunakaran a formidable leader fall big.
Karunakaran had the sworn allegiance of the most of the Police establishment in Kerala, whom he had a special liking to

Next target was the super profitable port of Mangalore
Their only bad luck, just 14 kilometers south of Mangalore was the small settlement of Ullal - ruled then by a feisty 30 year old woman - Abbakka Chowta.

(1) #DidYouKnow that the UK's so-called freedom fighter "Tommy Robinson" is actually Stephen Lennon, Stephen Yaxley, or Paul Harris & once claimed to be Andrew McMaster?
He has an assault, drugs & fraud rap sheet as long as your arm, too.
Time for some facts about him.

(2) The above quote is from this piece. I'm still researching his background online but even from the first few articles I've found it's clear he's a common criminal who carefully massages a public image that is swallowed hook, line & sinker by his fans.

(3) I don't normally rely on leftist sources like the BBC and The Guardian but the basic facts reported, such as criminal convictions can't be spun. I think "TR" relies on his fans' suspicion of "establishment" media to dissuade them from objectively fact-finding about him.
Lets try something. Lets take ALL the stories about #TrumpCorruption that've been lost in the chaos. Stories that haven't gotten enough exposure. Stories that on their own would have toppled any other WH but get lost in the craziness of Trump. Lets put them together. I'll start..
#DidYouKnow Ivanka Trump's been subpoenaed by the Commercial Bank of Dubai for an alleged scheme to help a Dubai Oil family fraudulently HIDE $100M by buying diamonds through Ivanka's Jewelry line? And the guy she partnered w/ has a criminal history AND introduced her to Jared?
Did I miss it? Did I blink? Has this Ivanka story been talked about? These kinds of stories are getting buried. The story itself is only half the story. COLLECTIVELY how many corrupt & criminal ties have been linked DIRECTLY to Trump is the bigger story. Here's another one...
#DidYouKnow that the modern exclamation mark (!) may be derived from the Latin interjection "io"? Medieval copyists wrote "io," which more or less means "hurray," at the end of a sentence to indicate joy. In time the i moved above the o and the o became smaller, becoming a point.
This is probably better known, but the ampersand (&) is also a character derived from scribal shorthand. It's just a ligature of Latin "et" ("and"). This is easier seen in some typefaces than others.
The origin of the question mark is not as certain. Some people think that it came from an intonation mark (something like a \ or a ~), indicating a change of pitch. In that case it may be related to neumes, the notation system used to represent pitch in Gregorian chant.
