THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: While the investigation on the Thiruvananthapuram corporation letter controversy is going on, the recommendation letters written during the UDF rule have also come out. Left cyber groups have released letters sent by Congress leaders, ministers, MLAs, and MPs for various appointments. It is reported that the cyber groups are trying to defend the Left front and CPM through these letters at a time when opposition parties are using the Thiruvananthapuram corporation controversy as a political weapon.
