All political parties in Kerala, barring the BJP, Thursday said they would not allow the Centre to hand over the management and operation of the Thiruvananthapuram airport to the Adani group.
At an all-party meeting chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, the ruling Left and opposition Congress urged the Union Cabinet to revoke the decision to lease out the Thiruvananthapuram airport through the public-private partnership (PPP) model.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has conveyed the views of the all party meeting through a letter written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “The overwhelming view of the meeting was that Trivandrum International Airport’s management and operation need to vest with the State Government,” the CMO said in a statement.
