Why it matters
This highlights ongoing political tensions and concerns regarding government transparency and the influence of corporate interests in state politics.
The V.D. Satheesan government has become a puppet in the hands of the moneyed elite who remains anonymous, Communist Party of India (CPI) State Secretary Binoy Viswam has said. In a statement on Wednesday, he said the aircraft and helicopters used by the Chief Minister for travel were sponsored by these anonymous financial powers.
“It is a source of embarrassment for Keralam when the Chief Minister hails such actions as a feather in his cap. Other Ministers are following in the footsteps of a Chief Minister who leads the way in pandering to the wealthy. Ministers leave the government-provided vehicles parked in the shed, opting instead to wait for the ultra-luxurious cars belonging to the moneyed elite,” he said.
