Kerala Congress Leader Alleges Data Leak of Over One Crore Citizens from CM's Office

Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala has accused Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and his office of unlawfully sharing personal data of over one crore citizens, including women under the Stree Suraksha scheme, government employees, and pensioners, with private agencies for election purposes. Chennithala alleges this data transfer, reportedly authorized by an officer on special duty in the Chief Minister's Office, breaches privacy rights and calls for the CM's resignation and a criminal investigation. The government has not publicly responded to these claims.
