Kerala Government Under Fire For Trying To Clip Corruption Watchdog's Powers | Read

Congress-led United Democratic Front leaders today met the Governor of Kerala alleging that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is trying to dilute the office of the state's corruption watchdog. They also raised objections to it being done through an ordinance instead of a bill in the state assembly. Opposition leader VD Sateeshan and former chief minister Oommen Chandy were among those who met Governor Arif Mohammed Khan. After the meeting, they accused the CPI(M)-led government of trying to save the chief minister and other ministers from investigations into cases of corruption against them.
