Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has accused Congress of double standards on investigations by Central agencies into leaders of various Opposition parties.
Addressing an election campaign rally of Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate C.A. Arunkumar at Chennithala in the Mavelikara Lok Sabha constituency on Sunday, Mr. Vijayan said the Congress vehemently opposes Central agencies like the Enforcement Directorate when they investigated its leaders. “However, when these agencies target members of other Opposition parties, the Congress welcomes it. It is a good sign that the Congress attended the rally in Delhi to protest against the arrest of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. At the same time, it should be noted that Leader of the Opposition in Kerala V.D. Satheesan welcomed the ED probe against T.M. Thomas Isaac,” he said.
