UDF's Adoor Prakash criticizes CM Satheesan's power concentration

UDF convener Adoor Prakash has aligned with CPI(M) in criticizing Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan for allegedly concentrating power in his office. This concentration is said to jeopardize the collective responsibility of the Kerala Cabinet. Prakash highlighted that evidence of this issue is becoming apparent, indicating discontent among UDF Ministers regarding governance matters. The criticism follows a public statement from KPCC president Sunny Joseph, who expressed dissatisfaction over learning about a controversial power purchase deal through the media. Prakash's comments come amid growing concerns about governance transparency and the functioning of the Cabinet. CPI(M) State secretary M.V. Govindan also condemned Satheesan's approach, claiming it undermines the constitutional principle of collective responsibility. The situation raises questions about the future dynamics within the Kerala government and the potential for further political fallout.
