Thiruvananthapuram Airport Row

Defending his stand backing the Centre's decision to lease out the Thiruvananthapuram airport to a private company for 50 years, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor responded to Kerala Finance Minister Dr Thomas Issac tweet saying "the point was not revenue" but "expanding the airport's potential".

Kerala's LDF government has opposed Wednesday's Cabinet decision to lease out the Thiruvananthapuram airport to a private company for 50 years, saying it was against "the assurance given during a personal meeting with PM in New Delhi" and sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi's intervention.

Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy's office seems to have caught up with another row after a person, arrested in a gold smuggling case, claimed to have links with a former member of Mr Chandy's personal staff.
