‘All Cabinet decisions taken collectively’: Keralam CM Satheesan defends decision-making amid UDF convener’s critique
Satheesan says will choose not to comment on the issue, accuses the media of twisting Adoor Prakash’s remarks
Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan has downplayed the controversy surrounding a power purchase proposal involving the over-the-counter platform GNA Energy. In a post-Cabinet press briefing, Satheesan stated that the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) had never entered into a power purchase agreement (PPA) with GNA, dismissing charges that the Electricity Minister, Sunny Joseph, was kept in the dark about the developments.
The Chief Minister also dismissed the Opposition's charge that his style of functioning jeopardizes Cabinet's collective responsibility, saying that any Chief Minister would be scared of being held responsible for causing power cuts by sitting on a file.
