The Congress and the BJP seemed to have found a new whip in the controversy surrounding the Karuvannur Cooperative Bank to flay the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government.
The Thrissur-based institution is at the centre of at least two scandals, which the Opposition parties say are denotative of the corruption and nepotism that has gripped the CPI(M)-dominated cooperative banking sector in the State.
In July 2021, the CPI(M) functionaries controlling the bank were accused of siphoning of crores of rupees at the expense of depositors.
