Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who attended an election campaign of the NDA at Kunnamkulam in Kerala’s Thrissur district on April 15 (Monday) promised to “return” the investors’ money at Karuvannur Service Co-operative Bank which has been seized by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
“The money of the poor people has been looted openly in Kerala. New models of corruption have been tried out here. The CPI(M) has looted the investors who deposited (in bank) their hard-earned money, saved even for wedding purposes of their daughters. The CPI(M) pushed thousands of poor people into misery. The Chief Minister (Pinarayi Vijayan) has been lying for the last three years by promising to return the money,” said Mr. Modi.
“So far, the ED has seized ₹90 crore. I have been discussing with officials how to return this money to the victims of the scam. The BJP government has so far returned ₹17,000-crore scam money to investors in various States. I will do everything possible to return the money of Karuvannur investors,” he said.
