KOZHIKODE: KPCC president Mullapally Ramachandran has said there were no developments to the LDF's credit and the front was laying claim to the paternity of the UDF's achievements in development front.

"The government had excluded not only former chief minister Oommen Chandy but also veteran CPM leader V S Achuthanandan from the inaugural ceremony of Kannur airport," he said.

Referring to BJP national secretary K Surendran's release from jail, Mullapally said there was some conspiracy behind the BJP's intention to eulogise him and use him as their poster boy.

Earlier, Oommen Chandy said that the inauguration of the airport should have happened much earlier. "The construction activities were delayed due to the stand taken by the CPM-governed panchayat. During the UDF term, the runway was completed and 80 per cent of the construction of the terminal was completed," he said.
