Pepsi in, coca cola out
April 4th, 2007
Tehelka has an interesting story on the government’s double standards when it comes to cola companies,
Which raises the question: if the Coca-Cola plant was the main culprit behind the water scarcity there, why is Palakkad district still facing acute water shortage? Many blame the double standards of the CPM, which heads the Left Democratic Front government in Kerala.
For some reason, the CPM seems to be much more accommodative towards Coca-Cola’s arch rival Pepsico. In addition to its cola plant, Pepsico bottles its mineral water at Wise Park, an industrial area situated in Kanjikode in the district.
What makes the whole thing much more interesting is the fact that both these companies were invited by the previous LDF government to setup the factories in Kerala! Probably, Coca cola is not ready to pay up someone
