‘Nirmala Sitharaman misusing investigation agency for political gains’
Finance Minister T.M. Thomas Isaac on Wednesday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman of misusing the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for political gains in the run-up to the Assembly elections.
Dr. Isaac reacted sharply to the ED decision to probe the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB) and summon KIIFB CEO K.M. Abraham and Deputy Managing Director Vikramjit Singh for interrogation this week.
The ED move has exposed a political conspiracy involving Ms. Sitharaman to undermine KIIFB and sabotage development initiatives in Kerala, Dr. Isaac alleged, participating in the ‘Janavidhi 2021’ Meet-the-Press programme here.
Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], March 4 (ANI): Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan accused Enforcement Directorate (ED) of summoning Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB) officials and said it is violating the Model Code of Conduct.
Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], March 4 (ANI): Alleging that the Model Code of Conduct was violated by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman during her visit to Kerala, state Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday said the former is 'attempting to attack' his government by using Enforcement Directorate (ED).'
