Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence here Saturday and expressed the state’s reservation on the privatisation of Thiruvananthapuram international airport.
This is for the first time that the Left leader was meeting Modi after he assumed office for the second time following the BJP-led NDA’s victory in the Lok Sabha polls. Vijayan is here to attend the Niti Aayog meeting.
During the brief meet, attended by state PWD minister G Sudhakaran and Chief Secretary Tom Jose, Vijayan submitted a memorandum citing various demands including further aid for rebuilding the flood-hit state.
