THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: When it comes to corruption, both LDF and UDF work in tandem and even try a miser act by swindling money from the plates of the poor in the state, opined BJP state president K Surendran. People who sold goats and children who enthusiastically gave their piggy bank accounts were pocketed by the current government. The BJP leader was meeting the press about the fraud revealed in the chief ministers' relief fund.

“ The corruption undertaken by Pinarayi is well aided by congress leader VD Satheshan. That is why the CPM state secretary pinpointed congress as also involved in the relief scam. Both parties have an innate urge to mint money and that is why now the congress is mum over the issue” Surendran added.

“ The scam details popping out daily regarding the CMDRF is appalling. The current scam is a mirror of what happened with the flood relief fund. The issue also brings to light the dubious involvement of CPM members who are also enmeshed in this scam. The same government who siphoned money after trading the PPE kit and the covid essentials can stoop to any low, no surprises” opined Surendran.

The BJP chief added that the government may soon try to allay the issue by proclaiming a vigilance-headed investigation, but assured about the forthcoming consequences. The center is ruled by Narendra Modi, and no corruption empathizer will have a free run. The BJP leader also asked the CPM leadership to learn from what happened to the LIFE mission scam.
