THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala has come out with more evidence against Minister Mercykutty Amma in the EMCC scam. He said all the allegations he made were factual and released photos of the minister discussing with EMCC representatives at a press conference.

Chennithala said that he does not have any issues with Mercykutty Amma's remarks against him. "Mercykutty Amma does not belong to the Pinarayi group. She belongs to the VS group. However, it seems that her style of speaking has changed after five years with Pinarayi," Chennithala said.

"EMCC representatives have confirmed that they have spoken to the minister. The photos I have released shows Shiju Varghese, the owner of the company, holding discussions. Anyone can check this out. Photos of the discussion that took place in the US are also expected to be available soon," he said. Chennithala added that the Joint Secretary of the Fisheries Department and others will be participating in the discussion.

"The EMCC delegation arrived in Kerala after being invited by the minister. The government took this project forward with great interest. Company representatives had asked Jayarajan to get the Rs 5,000 crore project approved at the cabinet meeting as soon as possible. Whatever the ministers said yesterday were blatant lies." he added. The Leader of the Opposition also alleged that the allegations were directed at the Chief Minister.
