The Kerala Legislative Assembly on Friday passed a resolution moved by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan against the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report on Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIFFB).

The Assembly passed a resolution against the CAG report despite strong opposition from the Congress-led UDF over removing parts of the report tabled in the House containing adverse references on the KIIFB.

The UDF and the lone BJP MLA opposed the resolution saying it was against constitutional values. Moving the resolution, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said certain changes in the final report was made by the CAG without hearing the departments concerned and it may affect the "checks and balances" between the executive and the legislature.

The resolution was passed with a voice vote and Speaker P Sreerama Krishnan said the CAG report will be sent for the consideration of the Public Accounts Committee after removing concerned pages containing the remarks on Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board. However, the final ruling in this regard is pending as Congress legislator V D Satheeshan, who is also the chairman of the PAC, opposed the move saying the House cannot change the report which was signed by the Governor

IUML leader MK Muneer said the Left government was trying to destroy those, who oppose them. This attitude of the CPI(M) led to their downfall in West Bengal and Tripura, he added. Reacting to an allegation that the Congress-led UDF was in tacit understanding with the RSS, the IUML member said the UDF has nothing to hide, relating to RSS.
