THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Former opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala came forward criticising the chief minister. Earlier the people used to go out after looking at the rahu kaal but now they look at the time of the chief minister. He asked the chief minister to avoid travelling in order to to protect the life of the people. He should be shown a horror film, opined Chennithala.

‘The difficulties faced by the people are not a problem for the chief minister. I am not saying that he should not be given security. There should not occur a situation where no one can go out like now. Everything I said when serving as the opposition leader has turned true. The chief minister is the mastermind in the gold smuggling case. That is why the CPM and the government are so tensed’, said Chennithala.

Chennithala also criticized the central agencies. Central agencies are playing dirty games. If they had properly investigated, the chief minister would have been in Central Jail now. Why isn’t Shaj Kiran arrested? Two IPS officers are accused. One of them has been shifted. Why not shifting the other? There should be an investigation under the control of the high court in the gold smuggling case. K T Jaleel is sinless. No one should say anything about him, but he can say about others, criticised Chennithala.
