Leader of the Opposition in the Kerala Assembly Ramesh Chennithala on Saturday asked the LDF government to clarify the alleged involvement of a firm close to the Adani Group in the state’s bidding process for privatisation of the Thiruvananthapuram airport.
The CPI(M)-led state government and the opposition Congress has opposed the Union Cabinet’s approval to lease the Thiruvananthapuram airport to Adani Enterprises through PPP for a period of 50 years.
“Reports of the state government seeking legal advice on the bidding process from Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, a firm owned by a close relative of Adani, raise concerns. If true, this shows a nexus between the state government and the Adani Group,” Chennithala said in a statement.
