Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan notorious for his arrogance yesterday attacked a reporter during a press meet conducted in the state capital. The CM was angered by the questions from media regarding the vigilance investigation into the Life mission project. CM was asked whether the investigation by an agency under the Chief Minister in a case linked with cabinet ministers, including him, would be effective.
Pinarayi Vijayan responded that the was the problem with the mentality of those questioning the probe and that the issue, in the beginning, was that there was no investigation was launched. But when the investigation has been launched, the allegation is that it was done over the fear of something. There is nothing wrong with investigating, a project in Kerala, using one of the probe agency here.
Vigilance is an independent agency. The CM also asked if this sort of allegations have been raised against the vigilance department in the past. The Chief Minister also stated angrily that press conference is not a place where anything can be said. He also alleged that the journalist, who asked the question, has other vested intentions.
