Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 12 (PTI) The ruling LDF in Kerala on Tuesday slammed the Congress-led opposition UDF for questioning in the Assembly as to why Keltron, which allegedly makes no components, was given the contract for installing artificial intelligence (AI) cameras in the state.
State Transport Minister Antony Raju and Industries Minister P Rajeev said it was a highly unfair and irresponsible statement by senior Congress MLA Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan that public sector undertaking (PSU) Kerala State Electronics Development Corporation Ltd (Keltron) makes no components.
The Ministers contended that it was Radhakrishnan himself, when he was Home Minister in the previous UDF government, who used the PSU’s services to set up cameras across Kerala at a much higher cost than the AI cameras project.
