CM Vijayan need not try to escape by making Kodiyeri Balakrishnan scapegoat: V Muraleedharan

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Dismissing claims that Kerala's development projects are being sabotaged using central agencies, Union Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan said the centre is giving all aid for the state's development. He further added that Kerala is not CPI-M's family inheritance and the details of partners in money laundering case will become clear soon.

The Union minister said Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan need not try to escape by making Kodiyeri Balakrishnan the scapegoat. He also queried why the CM is not following Kodiyeri's path after his former principal secretary M Sivasankar was arrested by the ED. Muraleedharan said CM Vijayan should step down if there is morality.
