The Union government is trying to economically destabilise the Left Democratic Front government in the State, Minister for Public Works P.A. Mohamed Riyas has alleged.
He was speaking at a two-day seminar to mark the 75th death anniversary of Communist icon P. Krishna Pillai here on Saturday.
Mr. Riyas pointed out that the Kerala government had been trying to implement alternative economic policies for the welfare of the people. However, the Centre was found to have been denying funds to the State, which was affecting the schemes. “The attempt is to enforce some sort of an economic blockade on us. Some of the actions smack of a revengeful attitude,” Mr. Riyas added.
