Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala on Tuesday unveiled an ambitious anti-graft initiative, "Project Zero," to make the state completely corruption-free through a phased and systematic process.
Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala, who had reportedly been upset after V. D. Satheesan was chosen by the Congress high command for the Chief Minister’s post, is now set to join the new Kerala cabinet with the crucial Home and Vigilance portfolios.
Kerala CM-designate VD Satheesan outlined his government’s stance on secularism, NEET and fuel prices while Congress works to contain signs of unease within party ranks.
With growing signs of infighting within the state unit of the party, Congress central leadership today held a marathon meeting with state leaders to discuss the issue.
Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala on Sunday alleged that there is an understanding between the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM) ahead of the upcoming Kerala Assembly elections.
Senior Congress leader and former home minister Ramesh Chennithala on Sunday alleged the role of an international smuggling gang in the Sabarimala temple gold heist.
“The matter is extremely serious, in this circumstance, the case should be handed over to the CBI for further investigation,” Chennithala said.
The chief minister should also clarify whether the government is ready to withdraw the cases filed against thousands of devotees for holding ‘namajapa processions, taken out by devotees against allowing entry of women of all age groups at Sabarimala temple,’ demanded Chennithala.
Significantly, Chennithala’s statement came just days after Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena’s Rajya Sabha MP and chief spokesperson, Sanjay Raut, said that INDIA bloc leaders had no objection to the Thackeray cousins joining forces politically.
Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala on Monday strongly criticized the CPI-M’s draft resolution for its 24th Party Congress, which states that the BJP and RSS cannot be labeled as fascist.
