Clarification: Why can't Kerala Chief Minister V S Achuthanadan, ban Endosulfan within Kerala?

My Response to Rigger's Comment on this Blog-piece.


But, Kerala can still pass a resolution in the Assembly to stop the operations of any industry including that of the Central Government, if its operations, have degrade the local Environment.  In case of Central Government owned Endosulfan plant in Kerala, it has been adversely affecting the Environment of the Kasargod District and its people.

Thus, you will confront a legal battle between the sate of Kerala and the GoI, which soon will come up at the Supreme Court.

The resulting legal battle would bring around a peoples battle like that of Jan Lok Pal Bill and the GoI would be forced to stop operations of Endosulfan Factory in Kerala, to start with, as the state of Kerala has an inherent right to protect its Environment and the health of its citizens.

Why can't Kerala Chief Minister V S Achuthanadan, ban Endosulfan within Kerala?  And force all other states to follow suit.  Soon, the Government of India too would have no choice than to ban it.

Mr. Achuthanandan's intent appears to be achieving some political mileage than genuinely do something about banning the harmful Endosulfan within the state of Kerala, to start with.

It is highly condemnable on the part of the Dr. Manmohan Singh's Government to be so insensitive to the plight of the affected people of this organochlorine insecticide and acaricide.
