Keralam Opposition Leader refutes Chief Minister’s charges of delaying Vizhinjam port work
Pinarayi rejects Satheesan’s claim that previous LDF government delayed road connectivity to the Vizhinjam International Seaport, calling the allegation 'baseless and ridiculous'
Keralam Leader of the Opposition Pinarayi Vijayan has dismissed Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan's accusation that his Left Democratic Front (LDF) government delayed road access to the Vizhinjam International Seaport. Vijayan dismissed the claim as "baseless and ridiculous," stating it was part of a political maneuver to deflect praise and mislead the public.
He emphasized that 100% of the Vizhinjam port's work, already operational, was completed during the LDF's rule. Vijayan also debunked the UDF's claim that significant progress happened within two-and-a-half months of their government taking office. He recalled that the UDF supported the port construction protest in 2022, when Satheesan, then LDF leader, had publicly opposed the project. The LDF government then staunchly defended the construction against such delays.
