The political landscape in Kerala is currently heated with the CPI (Communist Party of India) demanding the removal of ADGP (law and order) M R Ajith Kumar from his position. This demand stems from allegations of misconduct and involvement in the Thrissur Pooram fiasco, a significant religious festival in Kerala. However, the LDF (Left Democratic Front) convener, T P Ramakrishnan, has dismissed these calls, stating that he is not obligated to address all allegations raised by the CPI.
Ramakrishnan asserts the CPI's right to its own opinion, acknowledging their independence as a political party. He questions the CPI's lack of conviction in the logic presented by the CPM (Communist Party of India (Marxist)) and the Chief Minister regarding the ADGP. Ramakrishnan suggests that the CPI should explain their dissatisfaction with the existing arguments. He points out that the situation will become clearer once the ongoing vigilance investigation into the allegations against the ADGP concludes.
Furthermore, Ramakrishnan confirms the government is aware of complaints regarding the ADGP's alleged role in the Thrissur Pooram fiasco. However, he remains unaware of P V Anvar MLA's written complaint against the Chief Minister's political secretary, P Sasi. This incident highlights the internal tensions within the ruling LDF coalition, with the CPI demanding action while the CPM and the Chief Minister appear to be defending the ADGP. The outcome of the vigilance investigation will likely determine the future of the ADGP and the political ramifications for the LDF government.
