Thiruvananthapuram: BJP Kerala state president K Surendran stated that Swapna Suresh’s statement to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has revealed that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is the mastermind of the gold smuggling case. 

The investigation agency has realised that BJP’s allegations have been true, he added.

"People now understand why the Chief Minister attacked me personally then. It is clear that everything was done with the knowledge of the CM and that his office has a role in the sedition case," the BJP leader said.

The Chief Minister has to resign immediately if he has any decency. CPM’s central leadership should answer to the allegations raised against the Chief Minister and government that has shamed the entire nation. 

The protests against the state government will be intensified in the coming days. Surendran also added that the protests will continue until the Chief Minister and the government steps down.
