An uproar ensued in the Kerala Assembly on Wednesday, as the CPI(M)-led government and Congress-led UDF locked horns over the alleged embezzlement of gold from the Sabarimala shrine.
Opposition members accused Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan of making unfounded allegations against UDF MLAs regarding assaults on House staff. Tempers flared when claims of insult towards Congress leaders Sonia and Priyanka Gandhi were raised.
In response, ruling front MLAs displayed photographs linking UDF leaders with suspected individuals in the gold loss case. The opposition countered with imagery implicating government members, ultimately walking out in protest, echoing their actions from the previous day.
