Former officials of Kerala Lalithakala Akademi, B.D. Detthan, K.A. Francis, T.A. Sathyapal and Ajith Kumar K.G.too, signed the memorandum submitted to the CM. Ajayakumar alleged that KMB's claim of technical issues related to international charges for transporting materials to India for the exhibitions as reason for the event's delay this year is baseless. "Most foreign artists are participating with video art and new media arts which do not need transportation costs hence the question of international charges and delays do not arise," he said. "Besides Rs. 7 crore from the state government, KMB also receives crores of rupees from corporates so the functioning of the foundation should be transparent," he said. Renowned artist Ajith Kumar G said that the government is the main fund source of KMB and hence it cannot function like an independent private entity
