THIRUVANANTHAPURAM : As countries of the world brace up to dreadful Covid-19 pandemic, Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala would rather eke out a political angle in the state vigil. The Health Minister is using Covid-19 scenario to enhance her image under spotlight, accuses Chennithala.
The Health Minister meets with reporters several times in a day, complains Chennithala. What’s the need for it ? he asks. “The Health Minister’s media mania is outstretched. It is kind of an image building exercise. She should avoid doing that,” says Chennithala. There is no need to hold scores of press meets on daily basis, he added.
Incidentally, the Opposition did not back Assembly resolution demanding Centre’s intervention to bring home large number of Indians, including Malayalis, stuck in various countries following outbreak of Coronavirus.
