NEDUMBASSERY: Hibi Eden MP said that he has not withdrawn the private bill that he introduced in the Lok Sabha demanding the shifting of the state capital to Kochi. He also said that there is a mystery surrounding the fact that the details of the bill were leaked from the Chief Minister's office and made a controversy. Hibi, who returned from a foreign trip, was talking to the media persons.

"The controversy is unnecessary. An attempt was made to save the face of the state government by creating a controversy. If asked to withdraw, I will comply. Private bills are introduced without consultation with the party," Hibi said.
