THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Youth commission chairperson Chintha Jerome said the news that she got Rs 32 lakh as salary arrears is a blatant lie. While talking to the media, she said that if she gets that much amount together, she will hand it over to the relief fund and as a party activist, that is their habit.

‘Those closely associated with me know that I don’t have the style, work tradition or family environment to personally keep such a large amount of money. I have not taken it seriously as it is a false propaganda.

Some of my friends from the channel called. I asked them whether any government order has been released and if there is any asked them to WhatsApp her. No one has done it. I have in my hand the documents related to the youth commission.

A person who worked as the chairman of the youth commission before me had gone to the court for a case. He approached the court demanding salary arrears. The court has now ordered to pay his salary arrears. Apart from the amount approved for the chairperson of the youth commission, I have not received a single rupee, she said.
