THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala’s minister for co-operation Kadakampally Surendran came out against the CBI raids at the co-operative banks, on Thursday.
Alleging narrow political motives behind the raids, Kadakampally termed all allegations completely baseless. The minister also said BJP leaders have been vying for his blood.
"If they want, let them take revenge on me. But they should destroy a great initiative, which has been a solace to the rural economy," said the minister. The co-operation minister added that if there's any black money found, the government will take appropriate action.
The Left government in the State has been accusing the BJP-led Centre for trying to destroy the co-operative sector in the State in the name of demonetisation.
