The Governor did not specify the punishment he wants meted out to the minister, but he may be hinting at sacking of Balagopal.

'Minister not enjoying my pleasure': Kerala Governor Khan vs CM Vijayan over FM Balagopal's speech

The Governor did not specify the punishment he wants meted out to the minister, but he may be hinting at sacking of Balagopal.

A major political crisis appears to be brewing in Kerala with the Governor intensifying his tussle with the Left Front government.
On 26 October 2022, Governor Arif Mohammed Khan wrote to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan seeking "constitutionally appropriate" action against Finance Minister KN Balagopal.
The Governor accused minister KN Balagopal of making a speech which "undermined India's unity". Khan's letter to CM Vijayan said, "A minister who deliberately violates the oath and undermines the unity and integrity of India cannot continue to enjoy my pleasure. In these circumstances, I am left with no option but to convey that Finance Minister Balagopal has ceased to enjoy my pleasure."
The Governor did not specify the punishment he wants meted out to the minister, but he may be hinting at sacking of Balagopal.
Chief Minister Vijayan unequivocally rejected the demand, saying that his trust in Balagopal remains "undiminished". Opposition party Congress also criticised the Governor's move.

Arif Mohammed Khan was referring to a speech delivered by Balagopal at a university campus on 18 October. Governor Khan said that the speech sought to stoke the fire of regionalism and provincialism.

Only two non-BJP CMs - Punjab's Bhagwant Mann and Kerala's Pinarayi Vijayan - attended the conference chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

Most non-BJP CMs managing Home departments skip meeting chaired by Union HM Amit Shah: reports

Only two non-BJP CMs - Punjab's Bhagwant Mann and Kerala's Pinarayi Vijayan - attended the conference chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

In a fresh example of the acrimony in India's federal polity, many non-BJP Chief Ministers did not attend a programme organised by the Union government.
Most non-BJP CMs who hold the charge of their Home Departments skipped the 'Chintan Shivir' of home ministers of all states organised by the Modi government in Haryana's Surajkund on 27 October 2022.
Non-BJP chief ministers who skipped the meeting reportedly included Mamata Banerjee of West Bengal, Nitish Kumar of Bihar, Naveen Patnaik of Odisha, and M K Stalin of Tamil Nadu.
Only two non-BJP CMs - Punjab's Bhagwant Mann and Kerala's Pinarayi Vijayan - attended the conference chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
The rest of the non-BJP-ruled states were either represented by a cabinet minister or a minister of state holding charge of the Home department.
The 'Chintan Shivir' was organised to discuss a host of internal security issues including cybercrimes, women's security issues and coastal security.

Kerala continues to witness widespread protests by opposition parties seeking Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's resignation over the gold smuggling case. 
The sensational gold smuggling case that had rocked Kerala before the Assembly polls last year, has returned to haunt the ruling LDF with prime accused in the case, Swapna Suresh recently levelling certain serious allegations against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his family members and some top bureaucrats.
Suresh was released from jail in November last year, 16 months after her arrest in the sensational gold smuggling case.
A former employee of the UAE Consulate in India, she was taken into custody by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) along with another accused Sandeep Nair from Bengaluru on July 11, 2020.
The NIA, Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Customs conducted a separate probe into the racket that was busted with the seizure of gold worth Rs 15 crore from the diplomatic baggage of the UAE Consulate at Thiruvananthapuram airport on July 5, 2020.
Several people, including M Sivasankar, the former Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister and another ex-employee of the UAE Consulate here, Sarith P S, were arrested in connection with the case.
Seeking to counter gold smuggling case prime accused Swapna Suresh's latest claim about her once-close connections with Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and his family, the CMO on Wednesday released a two-year-old video in which he was seen saying that she had visited his official residence here several times along with the then UAE Consulate General for official purpose.
The short video, released by the Chief Minister's Office in its social media handle, has two parts- Suresh's Tuesday's threat to expose Vijayan's 'lie' that he did not know her and the CM's old statement admitting that he knew her as a Consulate staff.
As the protests gain steam across the state, the police have put a blanket ban on black on anything black at events attended by the CM. The move comes after CM Vijayan was shown black flags at separate instances, including at Thrissur, Mallapuram and also on a flight he boarded from Kannur. 
The CM however, has denied any such ban, adding that black dress and masks are not restricted. 
At one such protest, BJP councillor Sumi Balu was arrested for wearing black, alleged the party. Opposing her arrest, BJP workers marched in the state capital on Wednesday where they were met with water canons and barricades by the police.
