'Kerala govt didn't qualify in airport bidding'

The Kerala government did not qualify in Thiruvananthapuram airport's bidding process that was carried out in a transparent manner, civil aviation minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Thursday. The Kerala government has opposed the Union Cabinet's approval on Wednesday to lease out the Thiruvananthapuram airport to Adani Enterprises through public private partnership (PPP) for a period of 50 years.
