CPI(M) fears Lokayukta may deliver verdict against CM: Opposition Leader
The Hindu
Mr. Satheesan said that the Opposition would have extended support if the government wanted to bring an amendment that allowed the parties concerned to appeal against the verdict of the Lokayukta before the Kerala HC
Opposition Leader V. D. Satheesan said on January 26 that the Communist Party of India (Marxist) wanted to curtail the powers of the Kerala Lokayukta as it feared that the judicial body may deliver a strong verdict in the cases pending before it against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
Referring to CPI (M) State Secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan’s statement that the body could not throw out those elected to public office, Mr. Satheesan asked Mr. Balakrishnan to recall an instance when the judicial body had tried to topple the Left government. “The move to dilute the powers of the Lokayukta was made to save Mr. Vijayan and R. Bindu, Minister for Higher Education, from the cases bending before the body as the party feared that the verdict may not favour them,” he said.
