THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The ruling party is supporting the chief minister because it has to abide by party diktat, said Shafi Parambil MLA in the Assembly on Monday.

He said that the only person who is not in contact with the chief minister’s office is CM Pinrayi Vijayan. It is the ruling party and not the Opposition who offered a job to Swapna Suresh. Former Principal Secretary Sivasankar recommended Swapna for the job. The entire youth of the State cannot become Swapna for a government job.

He said that none of the MPs from Kerala is a candidate like Sambath, who had lost the election. PSC Chairman had asked a mocking question whether jobs are kept in buckets.

Shafi said that the government had shattered the dreams of youth through such deeds. “The CPM is supporting the cyber-attack against the media. The ruling party turned against the media, which once boasted of continuity of LDF government, when the former could not answer tough questions,” he added.
