|June 06, 2025
A political row has erupted in Kerala over the National Highway-66 project, with the ruling CPI(M) and opposition Congress trading sharp accusations amid allegations of corruption and delays.
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM/NEW DELHI:
A section of National Highway 66 at Kooriyad collapsed on May 20, triggering a political firestorm in the state.
On Thursday, Kerala public works minister PA Mohammed Riyas said the project would be completed "no matter what," even if Congress general secretary KC Venugopal "acts as the nemesis" of the highway plan, as the state government is taking all steps in that direction.
The Congress hit back at the minister by accusing him of turning the complainant into the accused and questioned whether he was trying to protect the culprits behind the huge corruption of thousands of crores in the award of contracts for the NH work carried out by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI).

His noble soul remains country’s inner monitor
I have no memories of the great man. As a two-three year old, I was lucky enough to have seen Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel many times. Including on his last birthday, on October 31, 1950, when my parents took me to his home to greet him and join a two-family photo-op. But all those real ‘sightings’ as I would like to think of them, have been wiped off my mind's screens.
