VS Achuthanandan asks Congress to deny seat to Oommen Chandy

Achuthanandan also said that the allegations against the Ministers and the Chief Minister had taken the image of Kerala to a new low.

KOCHI: Opposition leader V S Achuthanandan on Monday said that the Congress High Command should deny an Assembly seat to Chief Minister Oommen Chandy over solar scan accused Saritha’s fresh allegations. He added that there was no reason to disbelieve Saritha and an FIR should be registered and the case investigated.

Addressing mediapersons at Aluva, Achuthanandan said that Oommen Chandy had faced similar kinds of allegations previously too and used his wife to cover it up following a controversial train journey with a woman.

The Opposition leader also said that the allegations against the Ministers and the Chief Minister had taken the image of Kerala to a new low. “Oommen Chandy has pressurized the high command by saying that he will stay away from polls. Now it has become clear why he had argued for the tainted ministers. By using his official residence for immoral activities, the Chief Minister has become a liability for the high command,” he said.

The Opposition leader also said that the women in the state should react strongly to the deeds of the Chief Minister and his fellow ministers in the coming elections. To a question, he said that the people (of Pathanapuaram constituency) would decide the fate of LDF candidate K B Ganesh Kumar by judging his past deeds.
