Pinarayi didn’t create Kerala by throwing axe.. money in relief fund is not the money deposited in hundis: K M Shaji

KOZHIKODE: Muslim League MLA K M Shaji, on Thursday, harshly criticised Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan for openly condemning his Facebook post at a press conference on Wednesday.

“The money in the relief fund is not the money deposited in hundis. It is the money given to the government. Is it wrong to ask about it? Earlier, there has been an instance when money was taken from the relief fund and handed over to a Left MLA to clear his debt. I’m not disclosing the name of that MLA. I’m not holding the press conference to humiliate people like what the chief minister has done.

Taking money from the public and using that to help party men is not a decent thing. Kerala is not a land that was created by Pinarayi by throwing axe. Kerala’s general public are not party workers whose knee will tremble when they see the chief minister.

Where does crores of money used by the chief minister for PR works comes from?

It is not the chief minister who has to decide whether Shaji is having pervert mind,” he said, adding that he had donated to the relief fund though he is an MLA without pay .

Shaji gave vent to his feelings at the press held with M K Muneer in Kozhikode.
