THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: CITU state secretary K S Sunil Kumar has come forward in sharp criticism of Electricity Minister K Krishnankutty. Why does a minister who doesn’t know about the department cling to that post?, he asked. If he doesn’t know, then he should leave it, he added.

Sunil Kumar was talking amid the inauguration of the indefinite relay satyagraha organized by the KSEB Officers' Association in front of the Vydyuthi Bhavan. “The coconut seed is present under the coconut spathe everywhere in the state except in Chittoor. Everyone was skeptical about whether the seed grows above the spathe there only”, he said.

“Who is the minister? Who is the chairman? The minister should show the enthusiasm to suspend Chairman B Ashok. Ashok is a media maniac. The minister should show the enthusiasm to say whether the remarks, defaming KSEB Officers’ Association state office bearer Jasmine Banu, are right or wrong”, he added.
