Lok Ayukta rejects plea to oust Bindu
The Hindu
Chennithala failed to substantiate allegations
The Left Democratic Front (LDF) government seemed to heave a sigh of relief on Friday when the Kerala Lok Ayukta rejected a plea by Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala to oust Higher Education Minister R. Bindu from office on charges of maladministration, abuse of power and nepotism.
Under incessant attack from the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) Opposition, the Minister appeared to have cleared a formidable legal and political hurdle to the relief of the ruling front.

On December 23, the newly elected office bearers of the Anna Nagar Towers Club, led by its president ‘Purasai’ B. Ranganathan, who is a former MLA, met with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin and conveyed their greetings. According to a press release, besides, ‘Purasai’ B. Ranganathan, the Anna Nagar Towers Club delegation that met Stalin at Anna Arivalayam, the DMK Party headquarters, included vice-president R. Sivakumar, secretary R. Muralibabu, joint secretary D. Manojkumar, treasurer K. Jayachandran and executive committee members N. D. Avinash, K. Kumar, N. R. Madhurakavi, K. Mohan, U. Niranjan, S. Parthasarathi, K. Rajasekar, S. Rajasekar, M. S. Ramesh, R. Satheesh, N. C. Venkatesan and K. Yuvaraj. Karthik Mohan, deputy secretary of DMK’s Information Technology Wing, was present on the occasion.
