Another controversy appeared to dog Bharatiya Janata Party State (BJP) State president K. Surendran.
On Monday, a television news channel raised questions about his son K.S. Harikrishnan's appointment as a technical officer at the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology (RGCB) in Thiruvananthapuram.
It is an autonomous institute under the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India. An RGCB spokesperson told reporters there was no foul play in Mr. Harikrishnan's appointment. The institute rigorously followed the statute, invited applications, and conducted tests and interviews before finalising selections.
