The Kerala government is treading cautiously in the case of arraigned veteran Communist Party of India-Marxist leader V.S. Achuthanandan, an accused in a land scam case. The state vigilance has already arraigned Achuthanandan as the prime accused in the land scam case involving his relative. ‘We are in no hurry to conclude on this issue and we will look into all opinions before the state government decides on this case,’ Kerala Home Minister Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan said on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, sources close to the government points out that CM Oommen Chandy is in favour of seeking the opinion of the Kerala governor also in this issue before any proceeding begins against Achuthanandan.
The govt knows that any hurry to settle political scores could turn counter- productive given the status and stature of former chief minister Achuthanandan. The director general of prosecution informed Kerala HC 20 Nov that Achuthanandan has been arraigned as the prime accused in a land scam case involving his relative and the chargesheet will be filed soon. T. Asaf Ali informed the court that it's just a matter of time before the filing of the chargesheet in which Achuthanandan has been named as the prime accused along with four others including the then revenue minister and Communist Party of India leader K.P. Rajendran.
