# Kerala CM Satheesan flags serious PSC irregularities, promises action 2026-08-13T11:31:25+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan on Thursday said a Crime Branch investigation into the Kerala Public Service Commission had uncovered 'very serious irregularities' under the previous CPI(M)-led LDF government. He said action would follow the probe's findings. Satheesan also highlighted that the PSC had prepared a rank list of 15,000 candidates for just 500 Lower Primary School Teacher vacancies, even as 1,113 teachers face job losses due to a division fall. Separately, he addressed irregularities in the purchase and supply of ghee to the Sabarimala temple, now under direct High Court supervision, and a review of the MEDISEP health insurance scheme after widespread complaints. Satheesan alleged the earlier LDF regime had enabled political appointments that led to the theft of Lord Ayyappa's ghee and a stolen door frame. He urged the public to await the investigation reports. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in Tags: Kerala PSC, LPST protest, MEDISEP, recruitment irregularities, Sabarimala, V.D.
