Union Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan demanded legal action against Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Viijayan, and used word ‘Covidiot’ for him. V Muraleedharan said, “‘Covidiot' you know what it means. There's no other word that can be used for a CM who continuously violates Covid protocol. As per doctors of Calicut Medical College, Kerala CM tested positive on April 4 and on April 6 voted without following protocols that a primary contact person have to follow even if we consider it was not known to him as Covid positive.”
