THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: KPCC president Mullapally Ramachandran on Friday came down heavily on Kerala Health Minister K.K. Shailaja for doing nothing and bringing hardship to the diaspora. He was at the protest held in front of the Secretariat, demanding steps by the State government to bring back expats

"She first played a 'guest role' when Nipah struck Kozhikode and earned the title 'Nipah princess'. Now, she is trying to earn the title of 'Covid Queen' when our diaspora is waiting to return to their home town. This Left government has cheated the diaspora when they badly needed the support of the state government," he said.
