But I stand by all. The Chief Minister has also spoken and responded regarding this. I thank him for it.”
“Appu’s movie release is a very emotional thing for all of us. The Hon’ble Chief Minister has responded regarding ‘James’. Let us not find fault in it now. All problems are solved. I won’t say the problem is solved under my leadership, it is a collective effort of all,” he added.
