Thiruvananthapuram, June 6 | Journalist-turned-Kerala Health Minister Veena George was a frontline anchor in TV channels till 2016 and made a statement on Monday that she was not Covid positive.
On Sunday, the ‘news’ came that George is Kovid positive but on Monday evening he had to write in his Facebook post that he was having fever for the last few days but he is not Kovid positive.
“I did the RT-PCR test twice and it came out negative on both the occasions. The news that is going on in the media is false because it was not done after checking. I am compelled to write here now because false news is creating trouble for others. I also tested today and it is negative again. I am also negative for dengue fever. I have been advised rest and hence all my programs have been cancelled. I am getting a lot of calls from different people and I thank everyone for the concern shown to me,” George wrote.
As part of the social engineering adopted by the CPI(M), the 46-year-old George was a surprise selection by the CPI(M) and was fielded in 2016 in the Aranmula constituency of Pathanamthitta district where he defeated Congress veteran K. Shivdasan Nair was defeated. And in 2021, she beat him again and raised a lot of eyebrows when Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan dropped the popular health minister during (2016-21) KK Shailaja and gave the plum portfolio to George.
