Desabhimani former Associate Editor G Sakthidharan alleges Pinarayi Vijayan received Rs 2.35 crores without proper records

Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], August 18 : Former Associate Editor of CPIM mouthpiece Desabhimani, G Sakthidharan alleged in a Facebook post that Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Industries minister P Rajeev had transported money from Desabhimani office in Ernakulam to party headquarters AKG centre in Thiruvananthapuram when Pinarayi Vijayan was CPIM party secretary.
In the Facebook post, Sakthidharan wrote, "What would have happened if I had openly written that it was the then Party Secretary Pinarayi Vijayan who secretly collected Rs 2 crore 35 lakhs from Desabhimani office at Kalur in Ernakulam without any receipt, documents or transparency, stayed there for two days and took it to Thiruvananthapuram and it was P Rajeev who brought it to the AKG Center in Thiruvananthapuram?"
Sakthidharan described that Pinarayi Vijayan, then party secretary, got off from the car in front of the main gate of AKG center at eleven o'clock in the night, Then two big packets were placed inside two envelopes of the same size with the name of the same hotel printed on them from the five-star hotel of Gulfar Muhammadali in Kovalam.
"The earth would still have been spherical, as it is today. No need to expect any change in that...Even if I write that party secretary Pinarayi Vijayan got off in the car in front of the main gate of AKG center at eleven o'clock in the night, two big packets were placed inside two envelopes of the same size with the name of the same hotel printed on them from the five-star hotel of Gulfar Muhammadali in Kovalam, so nothing happens," he added.
Sakthidharan lamented that no political change took place in Kerala even when High Court judges said that Pinarayi Vijayan and his daughter Veena Thaikandi had pocketed the amount in monthly and monthly instalments.
"Even when the three High Court judges wrote the judgment that Pinarayi Vijayan and his daughter Veena Thaikandi had pocketed the amount in monthly and monthly instalments, Kerala was still like this. Even when a judge publicly challenged that Pinarayi Vijayan was the real mafia kingpin and had evidence of it on his computer, nothing happened. That is Pinarayi Vijayan," he wrote in the Facebook post.
Calling for an opposition to emerge in Kerala just like in West Bengal, Sakthidharan said, "If Communism wants to collapse, the opposing force must emerge. That's what happened in Bengal. It's just taking a little more time in Kerala."
Earlier G Sakthidharan put an initial Facebook post in which he mentioned that money was transported from Ernakulam to Thiruvananthapuram without mentioning the name of the persons.
He also mentioned that two persons in the present cabinet were involved in the transaction. On Friday, Sakthidharan revealed the name of the persons involved in the transaction.
After G Sakthidharan put the Facebook post earlier, Congress MP Benny Behanan filed a police complaint demanding a probe into the incident.
