Medically, Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks.
Leader of Opposition in the Kerala Assembly Ramesh Chennithala on Friday amusingly said the state cabinet, including Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, is suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
Chennithala said this after he 'exposed' the contentious deep-sea fishing project that the Kerala govt had decided to go ahead within collaboration with EMCC a US-headquartered company. Vijayan and two of his cabinet colleagues, Fisheries Minister J. Mercykutty and Industries Minister E.P. Jayarajan, have time and again when asked about this deal, said "they don't remember" anything.
"Had I not exposed this fraudulent project, which was literally selling the 'seas' to this US firm, the Vijayan government would have done that. Documents have been released that this project was being talked about and discussed at the official and ministerial level starting from 2018 when Mercykutty visited the US. Later a few rounds of talks were held here, in which Vijayan, Jayarajan, Mercykutty and officials from the industry and EMCC officials took part. When they were caught red-handed, each one of them has been telling lies or their stock answer is, they don't remember. Is the Kerala cabinet including Vijayan suffering from Alzheimer's," asked Chennithala.
Chennithala was responding to Vijayan's remarks on this project when he said, "he does not remember meeting EMCC officials. But if they say they have met me, I will not deny it because so many people come and meet me."
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday said that the entire deal with EMCC has been cancelled because he does not want anyone in Kerala to have any doubt.
