Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s statement on Thursday at a media conference that the fake bribery and corruption allegation against the office of the Health Minister was a conspiracy cooked up by the Opposition was despicable and ignominious, Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan said here on Friday.
Mr. Vijayan would do good to remember that he was no longer the Communist Party of India (Marxist) secretary and that he was was mouthing off irresponsible statements when occupying the office of the Chief Minister, Mr. Satheesan said.
He said Mr. Vijayan had descended to a level wherein he was a disgrace to the position he occupied. Mr. Satheesan said when the Chief Minister was pointing fingers at the Opposition, those arrested by his police for hatching the conspiracy against the Health Minister’s Office were all criminals with allegiance to the CPI(M).
