During the inauguration of KSRTC’s Priyadarshini free travel bus service in Kollam, hot payasam was accidentally spilled on Minister Bindu Krishna’s head. The incident occurred inside a crowded bus when a personal staff member was passing the payasam and a Congress worker’s hand accidentally hit it during slogan shouting.

Although the minister was visibly upset by the incident, she did not file a formal complaint. Those nearby quickly wiped her head and face with a shawl, preventing any burns, and she later completed her journey to Chinnakkada. The Special Branch is currently investigating the incident and will submit a report. Interestingly, shortly after the inauguration, the Priyadarshini bus broke down near the Rameswaram temple due to an air leak, forcing around 25 passengers to board another bus.
