ADGP met RSS leaders at the behest of Vijayan: Kerala LoP
Hindustan TimesAmid the row over Kerala additional director general of police MR Ajithkumar allegedly meeting top leaders of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Leader of Opposition VD Satheesan has alleged that the cop was deputed as a messenger at the behest of chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan to strike a quid pro quo deal with the RSS-BJP for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Ajithkumar, a 1995-batch IPS officer, is reported to have held ‘private’ meetings with RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale and the outfit’s national executive member Ram Madhav on two separate occasions in May-June 2023. Congress leader VD Satheesan, who told the media that he has concrete proof of the two meetings, has alleged that Ajithkumar was deputed as a messenger at the behest of chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan to strike a quid pro quo deal with the RSS-BJP for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. However, the Congress leader alleged that Ajithkumar played a key role in disrupting the festivities and making the environment favourable for the BJP candidate Suresh Gopi who went on to win the Lok Sabha election in Thrissur by over 60,000 votes.
