She claimed that the former Chief Minister’s travels abroad, often described as medical trips, were linked to personal business ventures in the US and the UAE involving Pinarayi Vijayan, his wife Kamala, daughter Veena and other close relatives.
“The former Chief Minister’s foreign trips to the US and the UAE in the name of medical treatment are for business purposes,” she alleged.
She further claimed that the former Chief Minister’s wife is more powerful than Pinarayi Vijayan, citing her constant presence during his foreign visits.
Swapna Suresh also alleged that Pinarayi Vijayan had ruined her life by filing false cases against her. She said she has been forced to appear in courts across the state because of these cases.
