The Hindu
KPCC President K. Sudhakaran said the Congress will stand with people who lost money in the CPI(M)-led Karuvannur Service Cooperative Bank loan scam. He accused the CPI(M) and BJP of colluding to cheat people and protect each other. DCC President Jose Vallur and KPCC working president T. Siddique also spoke at the valedictory of the Sahakari Samrakshana Yatra. They said commission agents and brokers are ruling the State and the Karuvannur scam is the biggest in the country.
The Congress will stand with people who lost their money in the loan scam at the CPI(M)-led Karuvannur Service Cooperative Bank, KPCC President K. Sudhakaran has said.
He was addressing the valedictory of the Sahakari Samrakshana Yatra organised by the Thrissur district Congress Committee in front of the Collectorate here on Friday.
“The Congress will not allow any CPI(M) leader, who looted the money of the poor depositor, to walk free. The looting of people’s money in the cooperative sector by the CPI(M) leaders has been repeating. When we have a Chief Minister who protects the thieves we cannot expect anything else,” Mr. Sudhakaran said.
The CPI(M) and the BJP have colluded to cheat people. They are acting hand-in-glove to protect each other. When the LDF government protected BJP State president K. Surendran, the BJP kept the top CPI(M) leaders out of the ED investigation in Karuvannur. There is a chance of both parties reaching a consensus in the Karuvannur scam, he said. DCC President Jose Vallur presided over the valedictory.
While inaugurating the rally from the Karuvannur Service Cooperative Bank in the morning KPCC working president T. Siddique, MLA, said that the commission agents and brokers are ruling the State now.
“Communist leader AKG started the cooperative initiatives from Thrissur. It is sad that the same Thrissur witnessed the biggest scam, which the country has even seen in the co-operative sector,” he said.

The Opposition Congress demanded that the government open the Gandhi Vatika Museum, depicting Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy and freedom struggle, built at a cost of ₹85 crore in Jaipur’s Central Park last year, during the Congress-led regime in Rajasthan. The museum has not been opened to the public, reportedly because of the administration’s engagements with the State Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.

Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
