Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan has warned the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government against inducting Kerala Congress (B) leader K.B. Ganeshkumar, MLA, into the Cabinet.
Mr. Satheesan’s statement came close to the Kerala High Court dismissing Mr. Ganeshkumar’s plea to quash the criminal case that implicated him in an alleged conspiracy to ensnare the late Chief Minister Oommen Chandy in a sexual exploitation case.
It also insisted that he face trial in the case. The LDF had promised Cabinet berths to four allies with single MLAs in the Assembly on a two-and-a-half-year sharing-term basis ending in November.
