THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The opposition Congress in Kerala on Wednesday dragged Public Works Minister P A Mohammed Riyas into the row over some financial transactions by his wife T Veena, daughter of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, asking why he had not disclosed its details in his election affidavit if the dealings were transparent and legal.
The opposition party also urged the CPI(M) to make it clear whether Veena had not accepted the money from a Kochi-based minerals company or whether the affidavit filed by Riyas was wrong.
