Satheesan requests Governor to reject ordinance
A controversial Ordinance seeking to "relegate the Kerala Lok Ayukta to a minor advisory role" is shaping up to be the next political battlefront between the government and the Opposition ahead of the upcoming 2022 Budget session of the Assembly.
On Tuesday, Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala, MLA, fired the first salvo. He said the move to "dilute the powers of the Lok Ayukta" was to forestall the administrative fallout of possible adverse judgements against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Higher Education Minister R. Bindu.
