BJP State president K. Surendran has said that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and other ministers, before going on a strike in Delhi, should assess the assistance that Kerala received from the Centre over the past decade.
Addressing the media ahead of the Kerala Padyatra by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) on January 27, Mr. Surendran raised questions about deficit grant, GST compensation, and funds allocated by the Union government for infrastructure development in the State.
The Chief Minister should disclose the quantum of financial assistance received by the State for the development of national highways and railways, free food grain, and employment guarantee schemes, he said.
