It is hard to imagine that young folks are not easily empathetic to the plight of the marginalised. Worldwide, it is the youth that are drawn to socialist ideology, and as they mature the conviction slowly diminishes.
Koda, the ex CM of one of the worst Naxal hit, and most poverty stricken and tribal populated states is just 38 now. He would've been about 32 when he took office as CM. A prime age and situation when people feel energetically committed, willing and capable to uplift the needy.
And yet, he managed to illegally accumulate wealth and property worth, approximately and allegedly, the equivalent of the entire state's annual budget. Obviously, all this could have improved the lives of so many downtrodden, and probably nipped the Naxal issue in his state - 4000 crore can permanently improve the lives of so many people.
Koda is not only responsible for accumulating wealth illegally, but also of aggravating the Naxal problem by misusing funds. To only prosecute him for enriching himself, does not focus on the entire issue - he should also be held guilty of aiding and abetting the Naxals since it is his actions that allowed more people to align with the violent struggle.
