Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Sunday remained silent about the role of 'Metroman' E Sreedharan, who led the re-construction works of the Palarivattom bridge, while congratulating the labourers for completing the work of the bridge within the estimated time.

'During this government's term, we were able to achieve many feats. We have realised several huge projects that were considered impossible. However, all this was made possible not only by the willpower of the government but also by the innumerable dedicated labourers who worked hard with dedication. If we were able to complete the Palarivattom bridge within 6 months, it is because of hundreds of workers who volunteered and worked for that goal,' the CM wrote on his Facebook page.
