Chennithala, Satheesan put up united face amid reports of infighting

New Indian Express  

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: In a public show of unity, apparently orchestrated to dispel the popular notion of a bitter feud brewing between them, Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan and senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala buried the hatchet and displayed mutual warmth at a joint press meet on Wednesday. Referring to Excise Minister M B Rajesh’s jibe that both the leaders were holding separate press conferences on the same issue, Satheesan said, as a beaming Chennithala looked on, “Rajesh is concerned that we raise allegations against the government separately. We came here unitedly to dispel his concern.” The leader of opposition also ridiculed Rajesh for asking why the Opposition did not raise the corruption allegation as an adjournment motion. ‘Decision taken without study on water availability’ Ramesh Chennithala alleged large-scale corruption in permitting a liquor baron to establish an ethanol and spirit manufacturing unit in Palakkad and demanded its rollback.
