Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan inaugurated the Navakerala Sadas, an outreach programme of the State government, at Paivalike Government Higher Secondary School at Manjeswaram here on Saturday.
However, his inaugural speech marked the sounding of the poll bugle for the Lok Sabha next year, firing salvos at the Congress for boycotting the event and attacking the Union government for financially strangulating the State government, while highlighting the achievements of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government in the State.
His speech also highlighted the struggles of the Palestine people and referred to Israel as Zionist terrorists for attacking women and children in the ongoing war with Hamas.
