Thiruvananthapuram, April 16 : Former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy s dream of taking Kerala to the development status of the Nordic countries is yet to materialise, had it been so, then Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan would have been subjected to a heavy fine, similar to what happened to the Prime Minister of Norway, Erna Solberg.
Solberg was fined 20,000 Norwegian kroner (approximately 2,000 Euros), last Friday, for breaking the country s Covid protocols by organising a family birthday dinner.
And far away in India s most literate state Kerala, Vijayan has been accused by all and sundry for blatantly breaking the Covid protocols, which was seen by all when TV channels came out with the visuals.

The coming Assembly election in Kerala could mark a realignment of the State’s political landscape. The Congress, which leads the United Democratic Front (UDF), the CPI (M) that leads the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the BJP that leads the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), are all betting on an outsize impact the small southern State may have on their respective national plans. Kerala is one State where Rahul Gandhi is miles ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in popularity and a victory of the UDF could set the scene for his return as Congress president.

Aishwarya Kerala Yatra being led by Ramesh Chennithala begins from Kumbala
Former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said the rule of the United Democratic Front (UDF) was a time of development and protection. However, the State was mired in violent politics, corruption, and crime under the Left Democratic Front (LDF) rule.
Inaugurating the Aishwarya Kerala Yatra being led by Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala at Kumbala in Kasaragod on Sunday, Mr. Chandy said every allegation raised by Mr. Chennithala proved to be true and that he led the procession as a winner.
Oommen Chandy swears not to seek legal cover Former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on January 25 said he would not scurry for legal cover from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) enquiry slapped on him and other Congress leaders by the Pinarayi Vijayan government.

The Cabinet had authorised the CBI to probe the nearly six-year-old “sexual favours for official patronage” case against a galaxy of Congress leaders, including Mr. Chandy, last week.
The news of the impending CBI probe broke on January 24 soon after the All India Congress Committee (AICC) had tapped Mr. Chandy to lead the party’s State unit into the electoral fray.
