Kerala airport privatisation: Pinarayi govt under fire after picking law firm with Adani kin as partner for legal aid
Opposition Congress and BJP on Saturday slammed the Pinarayi Vijayan government after it emerged through an RTI reply that the Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation (KSIDC) had hired, for legal opinion about auction of Thiruvananthapuram airport the services of a corporate law firm in which a family member of Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani is a partner.
The CPI(M)-led LDF government is protesting the decision to lease out Thiruvananthapuram airport to Adani Enterprises.
On Saturday, Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Ramesh Chennithala said the state seeking legal advice on the bidding process from a firm owned by a close relative of Adani raises concerns.
