Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan today dismissed the Congress-led UDF Opposition's allegations of land encroachment against LDF independent MP, Joyce George, saying there were "politically motivated."
The MP was in the centre of a controversy last year after the Revenue officials had cancelled the original title deeds relating to about 20 acres of land in his possession and that of his family members in Idukki district as it was found to be issued on "improper grounds."
During the question hour, Vijayan said, "Joyce George had not encroached any land. This is the government stand."
Earlier, Revenue Minister E Chandrasekharan had also maintained that the left independent MP was not involved in any land grab and the one in his possession and his relatives' were 'hereditary.'
