flag BJP accuses Kerala CM of gold theft and corruption; CM defends development amid fiscal dispute.

flag BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar accused Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan of corruption, citing the alleged theft of 4.5 kg of gold from the Sabarimala temple as evidence, claiming broader looting of religious artifacts and political complicity. flag He credited central government initiatives under Prime Minister Modi for Kerala’s development, dismissing Vijayan’s criticism of borrowing restrictions via the KIIFB as political posturing. flag Vijayan countered that treating KIIFB loans as state debt unfairly limits fiscal autonomy, contradicting a 1999 RBI ruling, and vowed to continue development despite unresolved requests to the Union Finance Minister. flag The CPI(M) stated it would not shield anyone found guilty, as investigations expand to include individuals with political ties. flag The dispute stems from a 1998 donation of 30.3 kg of gold and 1,900 kg of copper for temple renovations.
