Reiterating the LDF government's resolve to implement infrastructure projects, notwithstanding resistance from various quarters, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said development could not be shelved for any reason.
Speaking after the State-level inauguration of village-level people's committees aimed at improving service delivery, he said on Saturday that the government's vision was focussed on development that targetted the future generations. Lashing out at critics of the approach to long-term development, he said, "If not now, when will it happen?"
Mr. Vijayan said the government was committed to implementing all the promises made in the LDF manifesto.
