Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan on Sunday accused Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan of trying to appease the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Speaking to media persons at Chengannur in Alappuzha, Mr. Satheesan said the Chief Minister was behind the “pro-BJP statements” made by Left Democratic Front convener E.P. Jayarajan.
“The Chief Minister fears the BJP due to the ongoing investigations by Central agencies into the illegal payments received by his daughter from a private firm, the Karuvannur Service Co-operative Bank scam, and the Lavalin case,” the Leader of the Opposition said.
