CM Vijayan, Ministers Skipped PM Modi's Kochi Event
Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan and Ministers, including M. B. Rajesh and K. Krishnankutty, skipped today's PM Narendra Modi's Kochi event after PWD Minister P. A. Mohammed Riyas was allegedly excluded. The program, inaugurating NH 66 six-lane stretches, drew criticism, and claims the boycott aims to consolidate Muslim votes ahead of Assembly elections.
