Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Public Works Minister, P A Mohammed Riyas took a sharp dig at BJP state president Rajeev Chandrasekhar, criticizing his behavior as inappropriate and unbecoming of a political leader during the inauguration of the Vizhinjam International Port.
Riyas said that while senior cabinet ministers, including the state’s Finance Minister, were seated among the audience, Chandrasekhar choose to sit alone on stage and chant slogans well before the event officially began. He said the act was a discourteous and mocked the BJP leader for using the platform to draw attention to him and did not show respect to the decorum of the occasion.
The minister further said that the Prime Minister’s Office may have arranged for Chandrasekhar’s presence on stage, but that did not justify his actions. He said, “This is not anti-democratic, but Malayalis will certainly view this behavious as rude.”
