The Opposition in Kerala Assembly on Tuesday staged a walkout after Speaker MB Rajesh rejected the adjournment motion to discuss Lokayukta Amendment Act. Leader of Opposition VD Satheesan said the amendments were made to protect Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan in four pending cases against him. "Fear has gripped the CM and hence the government put forward this amendment," Satheesan said.
