Thiruvanthapuram: A compliant has been registered against Congress president Sonia Gandhi, KPCC chief V.M. Sudheeran and ex-minister Ramesh Chennitala in a local regional court in Kerala over non-payment of dues in regards with the construction of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi’s statue at Neyyar Dam.
Heather Construction company has sent a legal notice and said that it was given a contract for construction of Rajiv Ghandhi’s statute and is yet to receive dues amounting to Rs 3.5 crore.
Meanwhile, the Congress Party has rubbished the charges and assured to settle this matter soon. “Neither any criminality involved nor any default of payment. Rajiv Gandhi Institute of development studies is a institute constituted under KPCC, they had constituted a research centre,” Congress leader Randeep Surjewala told the media.
