After Kerala Health Minister K K Shailaja made the gaffe on Goa, causing embarrassment to the state government and much chagrin to the Goa government, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan made another faux pas.
Not only he has mentioned a WRONG person as HRD minister, he also pronounced his name as Javed where as the correct name is Javadekar.

Addressing mediapersons on Tuesday, Chief Minister Vijayan said he had written to HRD Minister Prakash Javedar requesting him to include Victers Channel in the Swayam Prabha scheme, launched by the Centre, so that it will be available to students in DTH. The chief minister seemed to be unaware that the incumbent HRD Minister is Dr Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank and not Prakash Javadekar whose name he has mispronounced.
In an interview to BBC, Shailaja said a Covid-19 patient, who died in Kerala, had travelled from Goa, which did not have required healthcare facilities. The minister had also termed Goa as a ‘Union Territory’.
Dr Pramod Sawant, the Chief Minister of Goa, in a five-thread tweet, stated, “I am appalled by the factually incorrect statements of Kerala Health Minister Smt. K. K. Shailaja Ji during her interview with the BBC regarding the death in Kerala of a COVID positive patient from Goa.”
“I wish to clarify 3 things in this matter. The said patient to our knowledge and as confirmed by Kerala IDSP team is not from Goa and has not travelled from here for lack of health facilities,” he added.
