I’m the Chief Minister & I’m right, says Chandy

Chief Minister Oommen Chandy rarely loses his cool.  However, on Tuesday, he lost it in the Assembly and said: ‘’I am the Chief Minister and what I say is right.’’


The provocation was the fracas created by the  Opposition over a faux pas made by Education Minister Abdu Rabb by stating that the government had decided to  grant aided status to 35 schools now functioning under the  Area Intensive Programme in  Malappuram.


This  prompted Deputy leader of the Opposition Kodiyeri Balakrishnan to  produce a photo copy of a report that appeared on the official website of the Chief Minister saying that the Cabinet meeting on June 13 had decided that the 35 (AIP) schools  in Malappuram  district  funded by the Centre would be converted to government schools.


As the entire Opposition  wanted  the minister to clarify, Rabb  said  he had not seen the government order.
