The Keralam unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday questioned the State government’s decision to revive a 20-year-old corruption allegation against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar.

The State government had on Sunday ordered a preliminary inquiry by the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) over the suspected death by suicide of Lee See Been, the Chief Engineer of an Indo-Malaysian construction company contracted to upgrade the MC Road, in Kuala Lumpur in November 2006.

The VACB enquiry comes in the backdrop of the Opposition’s national-level agitation seeking Mr. Gyanesh Kumar’s removal as CEC over vote theft allegations.
