2 min read

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 22: A contemporary controversy has erupted after high Congress leaders and a CPI(M) chief got here out closely in opposition to the way in which All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary and former Lok Sabha member from Alappuzha, Ok.C.

Venugopal, was not invited for the inauguration of a Rs 175 crore hospital block of the state-run Medical College Hospital at Alappuzha.

The block was inaugurated by Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. State Congress President Ok. Sudhakaran stated it was shameful that Venugopal, who was instrumental in getting the funds for this mission through the second UPA authorities headed by former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, was not invited.

“This act shows the pettiness of Vijayan and this was pointed out by none other than the former cabinet member of Vijayan, G. Sudhakaran, a top

CPI-M leader from Alappuzha. The local CPI(M) legislator H. Salam made it clear that it’s Vijayan who decides who should be called for the inauguration,” the State Congress President added.

Eyebrows have been raised when G. Sudhakaran wrote on his Facebook account that it does not matter if he was not invited, as an alternative Venugopal and the previous State Health Minister, Ok.Ok.Shailaja, who was her cabinet colleague within the first Vijayan cabinet, ought to have been invited.

Protesting that Venugopal, who’s the AICC Organising Secretary was not invited, Ramesh Chennithala, a Congress legislator from Alappuzha and Kodikunnil Suresh, a Congress Lok Sabha member from Mavelikera, who had been each invited determined to boycott the occasion.

Venugopal stated he has no points in any respect in not being invited to the occasion.

“I did my job as a people’s representative and worked to help the people with a new health facility. I know there was a delay in the work, but am now very happy that the facility is finally open and will benefit the people,” he added.
