Meanwhile, Union Home Minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah on Wednesday targeted Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan over the gold smuggling case, alleging that the CPI(M) leader had links with prime accused in the scam.
Addressing a poll rally in Kanjirappally Assembly constituency in Kottayam district, Shah asked Vijayan whether the prime accused of the gold scam worked in his office or not.
"I call upon Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan Ji to answer this straight question - Did the prime accused of the gold scam work in your office or not? "Did your govt given this accused a monthly remuneration of Rs 3 lakh?" Shah asked as he kick started the second leg of the election campaign in the southern state. He sought to know whether Vijayan's then principal secretary had made phone calls to help these accused or not.
Taking a dig at Pinarayi-led government, Shah said, “There was a time when Kerala was considered as the role model of tourism and development. It was known as the most educated and peace-loving state. LDF and UDF governments have made Kerala a hub of corruption.”
