KPCC president K Sudhakaran, MP, on Sunday said that the Lokayukta in Kerala, which he said has been sterilised by the Pinarayi Vijayan government, has become a ‘Kettukazhcha’(the ceremonial display of decorated chariots, wooden horses, bulls, etc, in connection with temple festivals), while the Karnataka Lokayukta raids the homes of the ruling party MLA and seized crores of bribe money.
Mr Sudhakaran said the Kerala Lokayukta has not yet given its verdict in the case related to the misuse of Chief Minister's Distress Relief Fund (CMDRF) case in which the Chief Minister is an accused, though the hearing of the case was completed one year back. He said the Lokayukta is sitting on the case for the last year. The hearings of the case were completed on 18 March last year.
