THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Minister K T Jaleel has denied the nepotism allegations raised by the Youth League against him. He said that the allegations are baseless. The government had to make an appointment immediately as the number of bad debts have increased. Notification for the appointment was given in all the news papers. Those who raise the allegations should at least read the mouthpiece of their own party.

"RBI will not give license if number of bad debts is very large. The appointment was made in this situation. We had received seven applications for the post. Three people appeard for the interview. however, we could not find a suitable candidate. Then we changed the criteria of educational qualification as more people can attend the interview. Youth league has no clue about this and they are raising baseless allegations", said Jaleel.

"No one can deny opportunities for someone, just because they are minister's relative. I have not done anything against the law. There is no need of any investigation", he clarified.
