THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Transport Minister AK Saseendran on Sunday said that he will respond to opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala's accusations over thee-mobility scheme after studying the matter. He also that the transport department has not signed any contract during the time of COVID-19.

"If I don't respond to the questions clearly, then that will give way to new controversies. I haven't gone through the opposition leader's accusations completely. I will also examine whether the company is blacklisted. As the transport minister, I haven't held any discussions with the company. While the e-mobility scheme was approved by the government, the Chief Minister has not directed me to sign the contract with any foreign companies," the minister said.
