Accusing Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala of repeatedly creating a smokescreen of false allegations regarding the Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered traffic surveillance system, Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] State secretary M.V. Govindan said that the AI cameras have helped reduce traffic violations and accidents significantly in Kerala.
In a statement issued here on Sunday, he said that the Opposition has failed to substantiate its allegations that the Chief Minister’s relatives had secured contracts in the project. Though the CPI(M) had challenged those raising such allegations to produce proof for the same, they have failed to release even a shred of evidence.
Mr. Govindan accused Mr. Chennithala of taking up the claims made by some of the companies which did not secure the contract that the Keltron was not responding to Right to Information applications.
