Thiruvananthapuram : The public in Kerala can see Mathew Kuzhalnadan’s flip-flops in Kerala, said CPI(M) Central Committee member AK Balan. Nobody in right state of mind would level allegations such as Kuzhalnadan does against Pinarayi Vijayan, ‘monthly kickback’ etc
If Kuzhalnadan feels responsible about the statements he makes, there is no hassle to him approaching the court. He should stop coming out with new versions each day. In the two issues that Kuzhalnadan raised, he was provided replied to on record. He’s simply dragging the Chief Minister’s name on and on.
Instead of feeling remorse and apologising to the Chief Minister and his family, Kuzhalnadan is scrambling to make excuses. The GST Commissioner has confirmed in writing to the Finance Minister that IGST(Integrated Goods and Services Tax) was indeed paid.
It was clarified that Rs 1.72 crore was payment for services and not ‘monthly kick-back’ Kuzhalnadan alleged. Tax on the amount too was duly paid. Once this was clarified by the IGST dept, public had no further misgivings. Still, Mathew Kuzhalnadan comes up with new accusations on daily basis, said AK Balan. Regarding amount being paid before registration, it is up to GST Commissioner to explain that, AK Balan added.
