Hello
In his attempt to be fair to both sides as the Speaker, the once belligerent CPM man, Shamseer seems to have ended up being unfair to both.
Almost half of the tabs purchased for the eHealth Kerala project were left unused for eight years.
In the past few days, a social spat had broken out between Akash's supporters and CPM local leaders on Facebook.
The hackers resorted to fraud by posting links to bogus lotteries and spurious drugs, as well as links that have software capable of extracting information on the FB pages.
The Lokayukta had initiated an inquiry into the allegation that former Health Minister KK Shailaja was complicit in the corruption involved in the purchase of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits.
The Supreme Court the other day had sought the explanation of the State Government on a petition alleging that the Essentiality Certificate was issued to the college without proper inspection.
She said the unprecedented nature of the COVID calamity had prompted the State to seek the kits and other equipment on an urgent basis, at three times than what was the usual rate.
Congress leader Veena S Nair alleges corruption in the procurement of PPE kits by pointing out that they were purchased from private companies at a higher rate than the market value.
The party also felt ex-minister Shailaja shouldn't get sole credit for Kerala health department's commendable work during Nipah and Covid outbreaks.
Besides Sitaram Yechury, other senior leaders, including party politburo member Prakash Karat, will attend the meetings.
