'Not Ha-ha-ha, we want answers; CM spreading lies'; says Opp leader V D Satheesan

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Opposition leader V D Satheesan strongly criticised CM Pinarayi Vijayan for using evasive tactics in the press conference by telling lies. VD Satheesan also demanded that the PRD, the media department and the media secretary be dismissed for the interview gaffe in 'The Hindu' newspaper.

V D SATHEESAN:

"Should the Chief Minister give an interview to a national daily at the behest of a youngster related to Kaizen and Reliance? And how can anybody casually barge into the room in which the CM is giving an interview? Will the Chief Minister file a case against the newspaper that printed lies?

Does the Chief Minister have the guts to file a case against 'The Hindu' and an agency called Kaizen for publishing such a divisive piece?

The Chief Minister is struggling to come out of the muddle he is now in. Telling the same lies a thousand times won't make it a truth. Who is he trying to fool? To serious questions, CM simply guffaws and esacpes.

On September 13, another PR agency gave the full story to the media in Delhi. In that news, there was information about gold smuggling and Hawala in the Malappuram district of Kerala for the last five years. On September 21st, CM conducted a press conference and read out the same numbers but avoided mentioning Malappuram. The PR agency corrected him on September 29th with a new report and here in the interview, Malappuram was mentioned.

This is a script prepared to implement the Sangh Parivar agenda in Kerala. CM Pinarayi Vijayan's lies would sell within his close circles but not with the general public of Kerala.
