“These are all hoax news. I also got calls from Kerala intelligence officials on the issue. I also heard from certain TV channels that Karnataka legislators are travelling to Alappuzha. I tell you, no such thing is going to happen,” Chandy said.

Chandy quit as Transport Minister this year after allegations that his plush resort in Alappuzha had usurped government land. His resort overlooks the beautiful Vembanad lake.
