THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Minister E P Jayarajan has alleged that if any party can be linked to the gold smuggling case, it is BJP. He made this remark at a press conference here on Thursday.

“The wish of the UDF is that Covid transmission happens in the State. Certain leaders have also expressed this fact. Policemen happened to contract Covid due to the recent protests held by the Opposition. The UDF has been trying to spread the disease and not to resist it,” he said.

Jayarajan added that the false campaign was going on against consultancies but they are necessary for State’s development.
