Heard that the state govts are supposed to recommend the names for Padma*.* awards. Kerala state govt has done for chitra, this year. They might have been convinced based on the recommedation points given by a committee that chitra deserves the award. Nothing wrong in it.

IR,MSV,PS,VJ etc being in TN, they should have been recommended by our own state govt. But they are busy to do something else these days. Forgive me for stating this. Similary, AP or Kerala govt could have done something. Karnataka govt has already decided that they will recommed only sons/daughters of their soil.

This being the case, why to accuse the artists like Chitra. Personally she may also have feeling like our's.

Only state govts have to be blamed for all these casuses.
