The Serious Fraud Investigation Office in Chennai recorded the statement of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s daughter, Veena Vijayan, who owns a now-dormant IT consultancy. This led to sharp reactions from both sides of the political aisle in Kerala. The Congress party criticized the probe, accusing the CPI(M) of having a secret understanding with the BJP. However, CPI(M) defended Veena’s firm’s contract with a private company and stated that all transactions were above board. The Enforcement Directorate initiated an anti-money-laundering enquiry based on suspicions of illegality in transactions. The controversy is seen as an attempt to discredit the government ahead of critical by-elections.
