THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Presenting the No-confidence motion, V D Satheeshan MLA said that the chief minister, who is the captain of his ship (of governance) is not able to control it.
“The thieves are inside the cabin of the captain. The CMO is the headquarters of gold smuggling. The gold smuggling team has taken control of the office and it has hijacked the office.
All investigation agencies are frequenting the Secretariat. Whatever question is posed at the chief minister, he says he doesn’t know about it. One minister knows everything and all are jointly finding fault with him,” Satheeshan said in a sarcastic manner.

Satheeshan said it was difficult to believe the chief minister’s statement that he doesn’t know Swapna. “The gold smuggling team reached here with a clear scheme. In the case of Life Mission, the government did nothing after just signing it. There is also corruption in Bevco. For everything, Sivasankar is being squarely blamed. Finally, the government has made poor people’s Life Mission a Bribery Mission,” he said.
Satheeshan also came down heavily on Minister K T Jaleel. “K T Jaleel made ties through WhatsApp, after calling foreign exchange act Bourgeois act. If he wants to do charity, he should do this from his own pocket. He used holy religious text as cover for smuggling. Jaleel had called up smuggling case accused 15 times,” Satheeshan said.
“Jaleel has thrown all rules to wind. Consultancy is the government’s weakness. In the Life Mission, the commission amount was not 4.25 cr but 9.25 cr.
During this bad times, agents, middlemen and incarnations are frequenting the Secretariat.
Don’t kill media’s freedom and democracy by hacking them 51 times. Finance minister and finance department are scarecrows…The financial system of this state has gone for a toss,” he said.
