Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday said the Serious Fraud Investigation Office's (SFIO) action against his daughter in the "illegal payment" scandal was aimed at targetting him.
Therefore, he was not taking it very seriously, Vijayan said while answering reporters' queries on the SFIO move and the Congress and BJP demands for his resignation over it.
"You can keep hoping for my resignation," he said responding to the media queries.
The SFIO has reportedly named his daughter, Veena T, in an "illegal payment" scandal involving her now-defunct IT firm Exalogic and private mining company Cochin Minerals and Rutile Ltd (CMRL).
