The Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) continued to assail the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government for the second consecutive day on Wednesday for its alleged silence in the face of accusations of financial impropriety against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala said the police were pussyfooting around the complaint given by Benny Behnan, MP, to the State Police Chief (SPC) seeking an investigation into the accusations of financial misdemeanour raised by G. Sakthidharan, former associate editor of Deshabhimani, against Mr. Vijayan.
In a Facebook post, Mr. Sakthidharan stated he had helped a top “CPI(M) leader enumerate ₹2.5 crore at the Deshabhimani’s office in early 2000.
