THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Creating a history of sorts, the LDF dharna organised on Thursday in front of the Secretariat demanding theresignation of Finance Minister K M Mani and Excise Minister K Babu in the barbribery cases witnessed strange bedfellows with Opposition leader V S Achuthanandan and Kerala Congress (B) chairman R Balakrishna Pillai sharing platform in the name of fighting corruption. While VS inaugurated the dharna, Balakrishna Pillai stole the show by playing the role of crusader against corruption boosting the morale of the LDF. As the curious mediapersons thronged the venue of the dharna led by LDF MLAs and other people’s representatives, all eyes were on VS and Balakrishna Pillai. Inaugurating the dharna, VS said that Ministers Mani and Babu should come forward to prove their innocence.
