Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy
Thursday denied media reports and social media campaign that he
dumped the complaints he received on his United Arab Emirates (UAE)
visit last week there itself instead of bringing them back here
for resolution.
In a statement issued here, Chandy said that in the public
interaction he had with Keralites at Sharjah April 11, he received
a total of 427 representations.
"Of this, my staff, P. Sivadas who accompanied me, carried with
him 102 representations and brought it to my office here on April
14. The rest of the representations had been registered with the
Sharjah Indian Association.
"M.G. Pushpakaran, a board member of the Pravasi Welfare Board
(registered under the state government) will bring it (the
remainder) with him when he comes to attend the director board
meeting of the PWB to be held here tomorrow (Friday)," he said.
Chandy termed as "absolutely baseless" reports by a section of the
media that he off-loaded 20 kg at the airport after these
representations led to him overshooting the maximum baggage
allowed.
During his visit - his first overseas visit after taking over in
May 2011, Chandy became only the second chief minister from India
to have met UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Dubai's
ruler Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
