UDF to turn up heat on government for C-DIT exclusion
The Opposition UDF will continue its protest against the government for excluding the C-DIT from important government assignments. K C Joseph, MLA, who was earlier the Information and Public Relations Minister, told Express Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had misrepresented facts while defending the government’s decision to replace C-DIT with Kairali TV to produce the weekly ‘Naam Munnottu’ show .
Express had earlier reported that the government had selected Kairali TV as the production agency through an arbitrary tendering process which favoured the party-controlled channel.On Wednesday, the Chief Minister told the Assembly the government opted for another agency following C-DIT’s request.
