Thiruvananthapuram ∙ Opposition leader VDSathisan said that the governor’s action to approve Saji Cherian’s oath of office is the final proof of the governor-government deal, which is being fought over and then unraveling. Satheesan called on the government to prepare to issue a white paper on the government’s financial situation.
Two days ago the opposition said the governor would accept the request to appoint Saji as minister. The top BJP leaders in Kerala act as intermediaries. Reappointing a minister without waiting for the final judgment in the case pending before the Magistrate Court and the High Court is tantamount to violating the Constitution.
The economic situation has plummeted to dangerous levels. Things will be true of the warnings in the white paper released by the UDF in December 2020.
The opposition leader recalled that 20,630 complaints about the buffer zone had been received and only 18 had been investigated up to yesterday. The Prime Minister said he will submit a report to the Supreme Court on 11 January. The area of two and a half lakh hectares includes thousands of buildings, temples, farms and government offices. Ordinary people at the edge of the forest are in a panic. Satheesan said the buffer zone issue had become the biggest sign of government incompetence.
