Tension Brews Between Kerala LDF Allies Over PM SHRI and Veena Case

Kerala's General Education Minister V Sivankutty publicly opposed CPI state secretary Binoy Viswam's remarks about the SFIO investigation into CM Vijayan's daughter and the PM SHRI scheme. The dispute highlights possible tensions within the LDF over political motivations and educational policy implementations.

Kerala's political landscape witnessed turbulence as General Education Minister V Sivankutty criticized CPI state secretary Binoy Viswam's comments about alleged SFIO action against the Chief Minister's daughter and the PM SHRI scheme's execution.

Viswam had asserted the SFIO action was unrelated to LDF, while Shivankutty dismissed concerns as politically motivated, indicating a rift over educational policy within the coalition.

Amid the heated exchange, Viswam insisted both leaders shared a unified stance, emphasizing the case against Veena should not implicate LDF, though differing on the central PM SHRI funds implementation.
