Oommen Chandy should resign: Chandrappan

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: CPI state secretary C K Chandrappan has demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Oommen Chandy in the wake of the recent developments in the palmolein case. He alleged that the decision of the Vigilance judge to rescue himself from the  palmolein case trial was the result of blackmailing pursued by UDF and the Chief Minister. Conspiring against judiciary cannot be justified in a democratic system, he said. Chandy was instrumental in protecting P C George who was behind the latest developments. “The role of P C George is like a hatchet man and hence he  should be ousted,’’ Chandrappan said.
