Thiruvananthapuram: Political mudslinging is at an all-time high in Kerala with assembly elections slotted for this year.
Both the UDF and the ruling LDF were busy trading barbs, unfortunately, at the cost of the ongoing Assembly session.
So who will emerge the winner in this bitter fight?
The
VS Achuthanandan-led LDF government has ensured cases were registered
against top opposition leaders during its term - like Muslim League
leader P K Kunhalikutty - accused in the Ice cream parlour sex scandal.
While
the name of the Congress's prospective chief ministerial candidate
Oommen Chandy was dragged into the Palmolein case, former Congress
minister R Balakrishna Pillai was sent to prison for one year in
Idamalayar hydro electric project case after Achuthanandan appealed in
the Supreme Court.
The UDF has hit back and claimed that
Achuthananadan influenced the judiciary to punish Pillai. They have also
begun targeting the Chief Minister's son Arun Kumar and alleged that he
took bribe to change Achutanandan's stand against the Sandalwood mafia
in 2003. The party has alleged that he is also linked to the online
lottery mafia.
Now a local court has asked the police to
register a case against Chief Minister Achuthanandan's son Arun for
allegedly delaying a CBI probe in the Lottery scam.
"Chief
Minister and his son are misusing their power. Two serious allegations
have risen in the media and in the assembly. So the Congress took up the
matter. This is not for election purpose," said UDF Convener MM Hassan.
While
political fronts in Kerala are on an all out war before the assembly
election due in April, caught in between were the public confused over
what to believe and what not to believe.
