Although the Keralam government had been maintaining that the Adani Group initiated its proposal to sell its stake in Adani Vizhinjam Port Private Limited (AVPPL) without informing it, Assembly records show that the company had informed the State in advance of its plan to divest a 49% stake in the port company. Replying to an unstarred question in the Assembly recently, Chief Minister V. D. Satheesan himself revealed this.

Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] legislators G. Stephen, V. K. Sanoj, Xavier Chittilappilly and K. V. Sumesh had asked the Chief Minister, through an unstarred question, whether the Adani Group had made a move to sell its shares in the Vizhinjam port company without prior government approval. In reply to this question, the Chief Minister merely said ‘no’.
