In a sharp reaction to Home Minister P Chidamabaram’s statement that the Kerala Govt’s apprehension over the safety of the Mullaperiyar dam was unnecessary and borne out of bypoll fear, CPM Politburo member Kodiyeri Balakrishnan has asked PM Manmohan Singh to intervene immediately and drop Chidambaram from the Cabinet as his speech in Chennai amounted to breach of oath and constitution.Kodiyeri was addressing a mass rally organised as part of the closing ceremony of the CPM Kozhikode district convention at Mukkom near here on Saturday. Terming the statement most unfortunate remark ever made by a superior central minister, Kodiyeri said: “it was only the other day that the PM assured the all-party delegation led by CM Oommen Chandy and Leader of Opposition V S Achuthanandan that he would certainly do the needful. Chandy should demand the PM to remove Chidambaram from the Union Cabinet”.
