Kerala UDF government

CPI(M) opposes the Kerala UDF government's decision to clear Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan of allegations in the Punarjani foreign fund case. M.V. Govindan argues that the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act prohibits public officials and political figures from soliciting foreign funds, citing a video of Satheesan seeking money from conference delegates sponsored by Manappat Foundation.

Congress leader V.M. Sudheeran criticizes the Kerala UDF government's proposal to cut taxes on low-alcohol beverages, stating the decision should have been discussed internally before the Revised Budget. He urges the government to remove the tax cut provision.
