Opposition raises corruption charges against chairperson
The Kottayam municipality on Tuesday witnessed dramatic scenes after a section of councillors laid siege to the office of the civic body chief. The drama began to unfold around 11.30 a.m. when some councillors belonging to the Opposition Left Democratic Front reached the municipal office to attend a meeting of the council. As the meeting was to be held online, the council hall remained locked even as municipal chairperson Bincy Sebastian held a meeting with some United Democratic Front councillors at her office. Enraged at this, the LDF councillors laid a siege to the chairperson’s office, accusing her of colluding with the UDF and indulging in corruption, taking advantage of the COVID-19 situation.More Related News
