New Delhi [India] June 22 (NT): For the fourth time in a row, the Prime Minister's Office has once again deprived of the appointment to Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Senior sources of Pinarayi Vijayan's office on Thursday informed that the PMO has denied to give an appointment for the Chief Minister and all-party delegation.

The party delegation was preparating to meet the Prime Minister to talk about the lack of correspondences in the ration allocation to the state.

The PMO has reportedly responded to the appeal, asserting the Chief Minister can meet Food and Public Distribution Minister, Ram Vilas Paswan, if required.

Last week also Vijayan had sought an appointment to meet Prime Minister Modi to chat about the same topic.

Earlier on March 20, 2017, the Chief Minister's Office wished to meet the Prime Minister to review about budget allocation to the state.

On November 24, 2016, a week after note ban came into effect, Vijayana urged for an appointment with Prime Minister Modi to converse the same.

Chief Minister Vijayan is at present visiting Delhi to be present in a CPI(M) central committee meeting.
