Mr Ashok noted in a press release here that the local forest assistant protector made it clear that the permit to shoot the film in the area was not invented by local officials and was obtained at the government level. He asked: “The government should clarify who has obtained such approval at the government level and who is behind it.”

The state forest department had earlier attacked the victims of the elephant attack on Wayanad victims after the then-Wayanad MP and a letter from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, and Mr. Ashok wanted to know if there were any similar instructions from the Congress High Command to allow filming.

Finished funds

Mr Ashok claimed that corruption had reached a threatening proportion in the government, adding that the government had used up funds to engage in any development projects. This situation has caused pain for the government, forcing the Chief Minister and his colleagues in the Cabinet to tour the country because they have no confidence in facing the people.

Mr Ashok claimed that the power strike within Congress had left the Chief Minister losing control of the government.
