Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has written a letter to the Prime Minister, objecting to the Centre’s “unilateral” decision regarding privatisation of Thiruvananthapuram airport.
The state government has said that its proposal to match the offer made by the highest bidder — the Adani group — for Thiruvananthapuram airport was not allowed by the Centre, and therefore the people would oppose the move.
In the letter, the CM said it would be difficult for the local administration to cooperate with the Centre following the latter’s move. “I request your good self to intervene at this stage, so that the decision taken now is reconsidered,” wrote Vijayan.
