I have nothing to hide: Kerala CM on data transfer

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday asserted he has nothing to hide on the transfer of coronavirus data to Sprinklr, a US-based PR and marketing company.

“I have made my position very clear…I have nothing to hide and so I don”t have any fear and those who claim to have the proof of the allegations, let them come out with it,” said Vijayan.

“All that I have said on this in the past few days is I do not have time to waste on allegations. Perhaps those who raise this (opposition Congress) see themselves when they do such acts. I have come a long way and I have never resorted to any such ways,” said Vijayan.

In reply to a question on the Kerala High Court taking up the data scam issue, he said it”s only “natural that the court would ask for clarifications”.
