Kozhikode: BJP state president K Surendran has demanded investigation by a central agency into the bar bribery scam which has stirred a political uproar in the state. Surendran alleged that, “”the latest incident is again a repeat of the things that happened during the UDF regime, The crime branch investigation is not going to produce any results whatsoever. I am surprised that the CM has chosen to remain silent so far. Definitely, he would have been aware of the things happening around him,” Surendan told the media in Kozhikode.

“Riyas is the shadow CM. He is engaging in corruption across departments. All the power is concentrated in him. I am not sure whether the cabinet knew about the meeting of departments that was convened recently. It’s time for the CM to speak up,” said Surendran.
