MP says State govt under-counting COVID deaths
Benny Behanan, MP, on Wednesday said the Congress would do well to introspect why some leaders quit the party.
He wouldn’t defend those who quit, but the party should be ready to look into the situations that led to their desertion.
Talking to the media in Thiruvananthapuram, he said aggrieved people should be heard and efforts should be made to retain them in the party. Mr. Behanan, former UDF convenor, said that KPCC president K. Sudhakaran was on the path of reconciliation with everyone.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
