Chennithala files petition against Vijayan in court

Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala yesterday appeared before the Trivandrum vigilance court to file a petition alleging corruption against Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and others over the illegal awarding of licences to four companies in the liquor business.

Emerging from the court after filing the petition, Chennithala told the media that he expects the court to accept his petition. “I had no other option but to approach the court as my pleas to the government were not taken up,” Chennithala said.(IANS)
