Kerala Chief Minister VD Satheesan has criticized former governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar and the opposition over irregularities in the state’s Public Service Commission (PSC) appointments. Satheesan accused Arlekar of recommending the removal of PSC Chairman MR Baiju without consulting the state government. The controversy began with a recruitment exam error, leading to an investigation by the Crime Branch Special Investigation Team, which has broadened to include various recruitment processes.
