Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has converted Kerala into a gangster State, Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan has alleged.
Speaking to media persons in Kochi on November 21, 2023, Mr. Satheesan said Mr. Vijayan was “a man with a criminal mindset.” Criminals and goons were accompanying the Chief Minister in the Navakerala Sadas. No Chief Minister of the State had ever justified criminals and goons as Mr. Vijayan did, said Mr. Satheesan, while criticising the Chief Minister’s defence of DYFI activists who manhandled Youth Congress workers at Kannur while staging a black flag protest.
Mr. Satheesan alleged that Mr. Vijayan had earlier ordered the killing of his political opponents and the razing of their houses while serving as the State secretary of the CPI(M). However, Mr. Vijayan should remember that he is the Chief Minister of the State and no longer the secretary of the party, he said.
