THIRUVANANTHAPURAM:  On Wednesday it was a different avatar of Pinarayi Vijayan that the media came across after the Lavalin verdict was issued on Wednesday. Coming out of the shadow of Lavalin scandal, a visibly relieved Pinarayi was all smiles in front of the media. Coming to the CM’s conference hall, he was unusually patient when lensmen were rushing to catch a glimpse of the rare smile. 
What’s more? Once the interaction was over, a calm Chief Minister took time to leave after nodding to many, even shaking hands with some. Sweets were also distributed to the media.
