Opposition Congress in Kerala accuses Left govt of mismanagement in police force

The opposition Congress in Kerala on Monday lashed out at the Left government and Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, alleging mismanagement of the police force in the state and claiming that cases are being filed against the opposition, media and some journalists for pointing out the mistakes of the ruling dispensation.

Speaking after the statewide inauguration of the police station march organised by the Congress party in the state, former Leader of Opposition and senior Congress leader Ramesh Cheniithala attacked the government over its alleged failure to send a representative to the house of the five-year-old girl who was murdered after being raped in Aluva, Ernakulam.

Chennithala alleged that the state police, which is a well-functioning force with good officers, has “become the most inefficient force under the seven-year-rule of Pinarayi Vijayan”.
