No matter what you do, Kerala will not blame us: CM Vijayan attacks Centre over gold smuggling case

Our lives are open books, you will soon realise it, said Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan attacked the BJP-led Centre and said that the people of Kerala would not blame him even after the opposition linked his name with the Kerala gold smuggling case.

He said in his Twitter handle, "All I have to say to the BJP and the agencies that dance to their tunes is this - We are not the kind of people you are accustomed to dealing with. We are different. No matter what you do, this land will not blame us. Our lives are open books, and you will soon realise it."

He alleged on Saturday that Customs Commissioner in Kerala is trying to help the Opposition parties in Kerala during the upcoming Assembly election as allegations poured in against the LDF government and the CM.

He also alleged that gold smuggling using diplomatic baggage, in which the Speaker, some MLAs and the CM himself are under scanner, started after BJP leader from Kerala V Muraleedharan became Minister of State for External Affairs.

Vijayan was reacting to an affidavit filed by Customs before the Kerala High Court on Friday stating that gold smuggling accused Swapna Suresh had named Vijayan, Kerala Assembly Speaker and three ministers in her confidential statement.
