THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Kerala CPI-M on Thursday tore into Union Minister of State for External Affairs V. Muraleedharan over his "unsavoury" remark on Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and his family's foreign trip.
Ever since the journey began, the social media is flooded with messages questioning the objective of the trip as the CM, along with his family had left for it just hours after the funeral of his party politburo colleague Kodiyeri Balakri-shnan, last Monday.
A leading Malayalam TV channel in one of its weekly satire programmes termed the trip a "needless" one, when the state is passing through one of its worst ever financial crises and condemned the Congress-led Opposition for being silent on the issue.
It was after this, that the Congress state president K.Sudhakaran and Leader of Opposition V.D.Satheesan went hammer and tongs against Vijayan. (IANS)
