Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee president K. Sudhakaran has said that the Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan should resign in the event of an assessment by the people in Thrikkakara by-election.
Addressing the media in Kannur on June 3, Mr. Sudhakaran said that Communist Party of India-Marxist [CPI(M)] State Secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan and Minister Mohammed Riyas had said that the byelection would be an assessment of the government. “If the Left Democratic Front agrees with them, then the government should resign altogether,” he said.
He said that the public sentiment of Kerala has been reflected in the Thrikkakara elections. People have voted against the semi-high speed (SilverLine) project, which is being imposed upon them by the government. People will not forget the mother and children being dragged and hurt as part of the government’s plant to implement the SilverLine project.
