The rally taken out from Karuvannur Service Cooperative Bank was not politically motivated, cine actor and former MP Suresh Gopi has said.
Refuting CPI(M)’s argument that the rally was planned by the BJP to launch Mr. Gopi in Thrissur as candidate for the coming Lok Sabha election, he said here on Tuesday that the rally was planned almost one year ago. Mr. Gopi was addressing a public meeting after the rally on the Gandhi Jayanti.
“I have intervened in the issue even before the Enforcement Directorate stated investigation in the case. The Centre has formed a Ministry for the cooperative sector for protecting the rights of the people and will definitely intervene in their issues.
