The article also reminded that the strong stand taken by LDF against corruption had helped the front to come to power in the May 16 Assembly polls.
Though the present controversy had cast its shadow over the LDF government, which came to power putting an end to the five year-long “corrupt rule” of Congress-led UDF, the article said the row would die down “when there is realisation on the lapses and the mistakes are rectified.”
Asked about the ongoing row over the appointments, chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan had said yesterday: “The issues which have cropped up now, the government viewed them seriously. We will decide together and take an appropriate decision.”
LDF government’s decision to appoint relatives of party leaders in key posts in state PSUs has triggered a controversy in the state with UDF and BJP demanding scrapping of the appointments and an inquiry into the matter.
Veteran Marxist and Chairman of state Administrative Reforms Committee V S Achuthanandan has also criticised the government over the controversy.
