THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Lashing out at Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Opposition Leader V D Satheesan said no one should force him to reveal the company that gave a makeover to the CM.

"Who were the people who taught the Chief Minister to say in the press conference that monkeys and dogs should be fed every day during the time of COVID-19? The people of the agency in Mumbai even reached the assembly gallery," VD Satheesan said in a press conference at the Cantonment House.

Satheesan's attack was in response to the Chief Minister's earlier criticism that a PR expert had attended the KPCC meeting, referring to Congress election expert Sunil Kanugolu.

"Sunil Kanugolu, who was part of the PR agency, is now a Congress member. He is also a member of the AICC task force. It is our wish to hold discussions with him. We do not invite people to the KPCC meeting after seeking permission from the AKG Centre. Isn't the Chief Minister the one who invited the PR agency to Cliff House and held talks with them for two years? A person with cataracts in both eyes is alleging that others have no sight. Through the two by-elections, the Chief Minister must have been convinced that the UDF and Congress have leadership capable of winning the elections," Satheesan said.

"Kerala is ruled by a corrupt government. The provisional attachment order of the ED states that CPM is the first accused in the Karuvannur bank scam at a time when the AI ​​camera and K-FON scams and the monthly quota controversy are going on. The Karuvannur looting was under the leadership of the CPM sub-committee. A liability of Rs 344 crores was incurred by giving Rs 188 crores as loans to benamis," Satheesan said.
