Governor Arif Mohammed Khan on Tuesday released a compendium of Assembly speeches given by senior Congress leader and former Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala. The book is titled Ramesh Chennithala’s Assembly Speeches.
Mr. Khan said Mr. Chennithala occupied the Opposition leader’s chair during a tumultuous period in Kerala history. He brought out the truth behind several controversies and acted as an effective check against instances of maladministration. Mr. Chennithala brought to light issues which the media could not ferret out, he said.
Mr. Chennithala said the compendium held a mirror to his tenure and work as Kerala’s Opposition leader. He said rank and position were not imperative to champion the causes of the people.
