Former KPCC member alleges scam in Aranmula project

The Central Travancore Janakeeya Vikasana Samiti chairman and former KPCC member, Thomas Mathew, has cautioned the Chief Minister Oommen Chandy against falling prey to the machinations of the KGS Aranmula Airport company, lest he faces a similar  fate as in the case of his alleged association with the controversial Team Solar company.
In an open letter to the Chief Minister, Mr. Mathew said the website of the KGS Group neither provided any details about its registration, its office address, its major projects so far, nor anything about its balance sheets.
The society chairman said, in this context, the Chief Minister is bound to clarify the ground on which he was convinced of the credibility of the company, especially at a time when he has taken an adamant stand to implement the private airport project in Aranmula.
The KGS website says that the company would spend Rs. 2000 crore for developing the proposed airport project in Aranmula and of this, Rs. 700 crore will be the company’s share and the remaining Rs. 1300 crore.
