ALAPPUZHA: Minister G Sudhakaran has again come out with irreverent comments against Pandalam Royal family and Thantris of Sabairmala temple. “It was not Communists who had sent Ayyappan to forest; it happened as a result of the conspiracy hatched by people including the queen of the Pandlam Palace. They sent him to forest with the intention to kill him.

When Ayyappan came back with leopard, all started folding hands in prayers at him. He was thus made the God. Isn’t this the truth; no one should forget this…Now one guy in Pandalam says that he is greater than the chief minister. Before Thantris migrated to Pandalam, Sabarimala temple was there. Among the thantris, there were persons who took bribe and they made crores of money on this account” Sudhakaran blurted out in a manner unbecoming of a minister.
