Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] on Tuesday accused Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan of “slyly playing second fiddle” to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s (RSS) national political agenda to weaken the secular opposition to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Central government by subverting the Enforcement Directorate (ED) as a cat’s paw to foist false charges against top Left Democratic Front (LDF) leaders, including former Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition Pinarayi Vijayan in the CMRL-Exalogic pay-off case.

CPI(M) State secretary M.V. Govindan told a press conference that Mr. Satheesan’s statement that the government would not appeal the High Court single Bench order to register an FIR against Mr. Vijayan, his daughter T. Veena, and former Minister P.A. Mohamed Riyas, based on a legally dubious report filed by the ED, was the latest corroboration of Mr. Satheesan’s “enduring cosy deal and symbiotic association” with the Sangh Parivar.
