Democratic Front state committee today decided to launch indefinite
massive siege of the Cliff House, the official residence of the Kerala
Chief Minister from December 9 demanding the resignation solar scam
tainted Oommen Chandy. The details will be finalized at the LDF meeting
to be held on November 18, LDF convener Vaikom Vishwan told reporters.
The
siege has been planned as the Chief Minister has backtracked on his
promises to appoint a sitting judge to probe the solar scam following
the historic siege of the state Secretariat at Thiruvananthapuram in
August 2013.
The meeting presided over by
Opposition leader V S Achuthanandan also decided to organize two
campaign jathas prior to the siege of the Cliff House. Both Jathas will
begin on November 1 and conclude on 13. The northern Jatha led by deputy
leader of opposition Kodiyeri Balakrishnan will start from Uppala in
Kasargode. CPI state secretary Pannian Raveendran will inaugurate
northern Jatha, which will cover Kasargode, Kannur, Wayanad, Kozhikode,
Malappuram and Palakkad districts and will culminate at Thrissur.
The
Southern Jatha led by CPI legislative party leader C Divakaran will be
inaugurated by Opposition leader V S Achuthanandan at Eranakulam. The
Jathas will cover Idukki, Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Alappuzha, kollam
districts and culminate at Thiruvananthapuram.
In
the meanwhile, a Kerala state plenum of the CPI(M) will be held from
November 27 to 28, 2013 at Palakkad. This plenum will be an extended
meeting of the state committee. A massive rally will also be held at
Palakkad on the concluding day on November 28.
