Congress Accuses Kerala CM of Using Top Cop to Sway Polls

The Congress accused IPS officer M R Ajith Kumar of acting as a middleman between Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan and RSS. They allege Kumar disrupted the Thrissur Pooram festival to assist BJP in Lok Sabha elections. Opposition questions alleged meetings between Kumar and RSS leaders, calling for a CBI probe.

On Wednesday, the opposition Congress party accused IPS officer M R Ajith Kumar of acting as a go-between for Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and the RSS.

The Congress claimed Kumar deliberately disrupted the Thrissur Pooram festival under the CM's orders to ensure BJP's victory in Thrissur's Lok Sabha polls. Leader of the Opposition V D Satheesan challenged the Chief Minister about deploying ADGP Kumar to meet RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale.

The CM and RSS have yet to respond to these claims. Satheesan demanded a CBI investigation, alleging a covert agreement between the CM and BJP to influence the election results.
