Conventional political rivalry between the ruling front and the Opposition seems poised to acquire a legal edge with Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan and senior leader Ramesh Chennithala set to move the High Court seeking a court-monitored inquiry into the alleged high-level corruption and nepotism in the multi-crore Keltron traffic camera deal.
Concurrently, the Congress will herald a season of aggressive anti-government protests by convening people’s assemblies in all 140 constituencies on June 20 to muster public opinion against the government.
The parallel moves also signal a closing of ranks in the Congress following a bruising bout of factional wrangling over party appointments.
