LDF Step Up Attack on VD Satheesan After UDF Convenor Alleges Unilateralism

The CPI(M) and the LDF have intensified their attack on Chief Minister VD Satheesan after UDF convenor Adoor Prakash alleged that key decisions were being taken without consulting alliance partners. 

CPI(M) leaders cited Prakash's remarks as evidence of differences within the UDF and alleged that Satheesan was taking unilateral decisions after consulting the BJP. 

Prakash had said at a press conference on Thursday that key decisions were being taken without consultation, UDF meetings were not being convened, and he was learning about important developments through the



media.

Ramakrishnan said the government had also fallen behind in fulfilling its promises and responsibilities towards the people. 

CPI(M) leader and former CM Pinarayi Vijayan, addressing the inauguration of an extended district committee meeting in Malappuram, described Prakash's remarks as serious. 

He said the developments indicated a breakdown in the functioning of the UDF and alleged that the identity of Keralam was being undermined.

"Even a section of those leading the government is saying this. It cannot go on like this," the LoP said.
