The BJP criticised Kerala CM and CPI(M) leader Pinarayi Vijayan over an RTI which revealed he has taken nearly 25 foreign trips since 2016. "Through these...trips, nothing was gained for the state; no MoUs [were signed], no investments [were attracted]," said BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla. Kerala BJP president Rajeev Chandrasekhar accused the trips of being taken solely for vacation.
