Protests erupted in Kerala, led by the Congress party's youth wing, demanding Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's resignation amid serious allegations made by LDF MLA P V Anvar against top officials in the Chief Minister's Office (CMO). Activists faced police resistance, including water cannons, as they called for a CBI investigation into claims of serious crimes including phone tapping and gold smuggling. BJP state president K Surendran echoed these demands, criticizing the government's lack of action and labeling the announced investigations as inadequate without removing those accused. The opposition leaders argue that these allegations undermine the government's integrity, with past accusations against Vijayan's office resurfacing. Meanwhile, West Bengal's CM Mamata Banerjee also called for resignations at the national level, linking a recent bill aimed at protecting women to broader governance failures. The political climate is tense in both states as allegations continue to surface, prompting calls for accountability.
