Kerala opposition criticises alleged ministerial foreign trips
CPI(M) leader P. Rajeeve has criticised the United Democratic Front over alleged foreign trips by ministers and Kerala Chief Minister’s private-plane travel, The Hindu reports. He said the episodes suggested that citizens without financial resources were disadvantaged compared with wealthy groups able to fund freebies and overseas travel.
CPI(M) leader P. Rajeeve has criticised the United Democratic Front over alleged foreign trips by its ministers and Kerala Chief Minister’s use of a private plane, The Hindu reports. Rajeeve said the UDF ministers had sent a message to voters that ordinary citizens without resources were at a disadvantage compared with wealthy people.
He also alleged that moneyed groups provided freebies and financed foreign trips for “power centres and authority figures”. The supplied material does not identify the ministers, detail the alleged journeys or provide the cost and purpose of the chief minister’s private-plane travel. It also does not include a response from the UDF, the chief minister or any individuals named in Rajeeve’s criticism.
The report therefore records the CPI(M) leader’s allegations and political interpretation without further substantiation in the available material.
