New Delhi: The Pinarayi government, which is steeped in corruption and nepotism, is aiming at the Lokayukta to stand up against corruption through a new ordinance. Muraleedharan.
It is paradoxical that the CPM, which has consistently opposed the ordinances of the Central Government, has remained silent on the ordinance to curtail the powers of the Lokayukta. It is as clear as day that the Lokayukta was imposing the ordinance on the Governor, despite the opposition of the CPI in his own cabinet.
He said it was politically narrow-minded to drag the governor’s office into controversy over the signing of the ordinance as Congress leaders were aware of the procedures to be followed by any governor holding a constitutional position.
