Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan verbally attacked at BJP state chief K Surendran, for raising “baseless allegations” against the family in the LIFE Mission project “kickbacks” matter.When asked about the BJP chief’s allegations, CM said that K Surendran has “lost his mental stability” and, without any sense of decency, has been raising allegations without any basis.
“The party (BJP) should ponder as to why it has kept a mentally flawed person as its president. Surendran has lost his mental stability. It’s as if he can say anything. Shouldn’t there be a sense of basic decency? Shouldn’t he say what his statements are based on? Should one just issue statements on a whim?,” Mr Vijayan asked.
At a press meet on Monday, Mr Surendran stated that the investigation agencies should investigate and interrogate Mr Vijayan’s daughter and said his family members were involved in securing kickbacks in the Life Mission project.
“Pinarayi Vijayan is not like Mr Surendran. I’m used to opposing corruption.That habit has helped me keep my head high whenever there are allegations against me.When someone sees that I rule without corruption, such allegations will arise. Can my daughter or son or family be labelled corrupt because of pure allegations?” CM asked.
