Bharatiya Janata Party State president K. Surendran has said the Income Tax Interim Settlement Board’s revelation that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s daughter Veena Vijayan had accepted ₹1.72 crore from a private sand-mining company in the past three years was shocking and disturbing.
“The Chief Minister should explain to the people the deal his family has made with the sand-mining company,” Mr. Surendran told mediapersons at Kuttippuram on Wednesday.
He said the people had the right to know what benefit the company had gained from paying the Chief Minister’s daughter. “What help did he give the company back?”
