Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan on Wednesday dared Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to deny the accusation that his close relative benefited hugely from the alleged corruption in the Keltron-sponsored automated traffic offence detection system installed across the State at an “exaggerated” cost of ₹232 crore.
However, at a keenly watched public meeting near here to celebrate the second anniversary of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government, Mr.Vijayan broadly accused the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of blindly opposing development projects by jointly promoting a misinformation campaign built on lies and slander. He, however, steered clear of answering any specific accusations raised by the Opposition.
