United Democratic Front (UDF) convener Adoor Prakash has alleged that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) notice to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and the former Finance Minister T.M. Thomas Isaac in the masala bond issue is the result of a “secret understanding” between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)].
He was speaking at the Vote Vibe-2025 election interaction programme organised by the Thrissur Press Club on Tuesday.
Mr. Prakash demanded that the Chief Minister clarify why land was purchased at an inflated price. “Where is the money? The KIIFB CEO and others should answer,” he added.
He said the voter fraud raised by Rahul Gandhi at the national level was something that the Left Democratic Front (LDF) had been practising in Kerala for years. “When I contested from Attingal for the first time, the LDF added 1.14 lakh bogus votes. In 2024, they added another 50,000. When we complained, only the votes of deceased individuals were removed. Kerala has been a major hub for voter fraud,” he alleged.
