THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: After publicly disputing party line on the SNC-Lavlin case, Kerala chief minister V S Achuthanandan now wants to speak his mind at the CPM politburo meeting later this month.
At the CPM state secretariat meeting on Friday, there was criticism of the chief minister justifying Governor R S Gavai's decision to overrule the cabinet and allow prosecution of state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan by the CBI in the multicrore scam.
They said Achuthanandan should have remained silent when reporters asked him about the role of Governor Gavai. Much to the dismay of the party, Achuthanandan had justified Gavai's nod to prosecute Pinarayi saying it was within his discretionary powers.
The state secretariat later decided to fight the corruption charges against Pinarayi in the court. It said the Governor's action was "unfortunate''.
