Satheesan said CPI-M leaders are coming out in support of the Chief Minister's daughter out of fear of Pinarayi Vijayan.
He added that political murders in the state would end the day the CPI-M rejects the politics of murder.
The High Court ordered the Travancore Devaswom Board to ensure that no activities are permitted on Temple premises that affects its sanctity during annual Temple festivals or other festivals.
Chief minister Vijayan said cess, fees, etc were proposed as a possibility for resource mobilisation and not with the intention of implementing it immediately.
Congress seemed to have decided to honour its promises made during the Assembly polls and allot an MLC seat to CPI.
It was remarked that this budget has been made to promote the interest of the capitalists. The CPIM has also sought to point out that the central government is feeling proud in its endeavour to sell off national assets. Chakraborty said that though the BJP has no role in nation-building, it is going to be remembered as ones who sold the country.
The CPI-M spokesperson Sujan Chakraborty said that on visiting South 24-Parganas district where the Gangasagar Mela is held one will see that the district authorities are shutting down all markets and shops since according to them, small village shops will spread Covid but a massive Gangasagar Mela that will draw lakhs of pilgrims supposedly has no chances of spreading Covid.
“Where is the chief minister going to admit patients who will rush to hospitals in large numbers after being affected by Covid? The state government ought to control the situation now. Several pilgrims are not even wearing masks and here we are witnessing a spurt in everyday caseload. This seems like a deliberate action by the state to put the lives of citizens in jeopardy”
“It is understandable that the ruling party wants to loot votes to win the civic polls. By setting the polling date on 22 January, it gives us no time for campaigns. It was apparent that the decisions being taken by the state government are preposterous since after announcing that trains services will be stopped after 7 pm, the government was forced to extend it till 10pm. Chief minister does not care as long as her entertainment shows and Ganga Sagar mela continues but is ready to compromise when it comes to essential things such as elections, train services, educational institutions and transportation,”
“When the advocate general had earlier claimed in court that the Bill has been signed by the Governor who subsequently denied having signed it, we knew and warned that one of them is definitely lying. The AG has now admitted that he lied to the court and has sought more time. He must be arrested for lying in the court and removed from the post if the state government still has any dignity left.”
