KOCHI: CPM state secretary M V Govindan and Minister Muhammed Riyas came forward responding to the disparaging statement of Suresh Gopi. Govindan and Riyas said, in politics, there is no reply for his statement. He also alleged that not only the BJP but also the Congress is behind Suresh Gopi's victory in Thrissur.

‘As usual, the UDF is becoming the marketing manager of Suresh Gopi. The CBI is termed as a caged parrot. In politics, there is no reply for the usage of ‘one father’. It is possible in films. Not only the BJP but also the Congress is behind Suresh Gopi's victory in Thrissur. Has the DNA test result of Suresh Gopi’s victory been released in Thrissur? Things will be clear then. The problem with Gopi is that he continues to live in his filmi world,’ said Riyas.

Meantime, Union Minister Suresh Gopi told media today that he has not verbally assaulted any one and will never do it. Anything can be done on the pooram issue. He alleged that the issue is being raised to cover the Karuvannur issue.

Suresh Gopi’s words
Why didn’t the media support the Co-operative Act when introduced. Didn’t you people oppose it. It was one which was beneficial to the people. Opposed it because you weren’t on people’s side. That is why I don’t listen to you. The media has no right to engage in politics. If you do so, then you are not entitled to be called as media.

Will not say to take action against P P Divya. It should be decided by her party. Punishment or legal action should be taken so that it will not happen again. It is the demand of Naveen’s family, the people of Pathanamthitta and the society including me, he said.
