Kerala’s Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan has alleged that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Governor Arif Mohammed Khan are playing a cat-and-mouse game by blaming each other even though they are “hand-in-glove as seen on various occasions earlier.”
“This is the same Chief Minister who bowed before the Governor in order to appoint his nominee as the Vice-Chancellor of Kannur University. He had also ratified the appointment of a noted leader of the Sangh Parivar in the office of the Governor, ignoring our opposition to it,” Mr. Satheesan told mediapersons in Kochi on December 13 (Wednesday).
Mr. Satheesan alleged that the Chief Minister prompted the Governor to perform “illegal actions” and then ditched him when it went wrong (referring to the Supreme Court decision to quash the appointment of Gopinath Ravindran as Vice-Chancellor of Kannur University.)
