Imputations of corruption, forceful denials, and retaliatory taunts revolving around the opposition’s accusations of corruption against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s daughter, T. Veena, seemed to characterise the political sparring between the CPI(M) and Congress on Sunday.

He said such “attention-seeking sensationalist behaviour “ warranted counselling.
