Thiruvananthapuram, Jan. 12 -- Union home minister Amit Shah on Sunday demanded that Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan transfer the investigation into the Sabarimala gold case to a "neutral investigation agency," arguing that an impartial probe was not possible under the LDF government. "The loss of gold at Sabarimala is a matter of concern not just for Kerala, but for the entire country...I demand that the CM hand over the probe to a neutral investigation agency," he said while addressing party workers in the poll-bound state's capital. Shah added that the support for the BJP was steadily increasing in the state and it was poised to win the high-stakes elections. P8
