Commenting on the federal government’s resolution to regularise 114 contract employees of C-DIT, he mentioned the illegality of such appointment has even been identified by the Supreme Court. “But we have a strange government that implements court verdicts selectively. The LDF government has carried out 3 lakh back-door appointments in its four-and-half-year stint. All such inductions would be looked into if the UDF comes to power,” he mentioned.

Chennithala known as out the choice to increase the validity of PSC rank lists by six months. “That is a gimmick to shield the widespread criticism against the illegal regularisation,” he mentioned. Responding to MP Ok Sudhakaran’s controversial remark about Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in Kannur on Tuesday, Chennithala mentioned that it ought to have been averted. Sudhakaran had mentioned Pinarayi was the son of a toddy tapper.
