Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president K. Sudhakaran and Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan accused the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government of destroying the State Civil Supplies Corporation (Supplyco) and pushing the State to huge debts.
Addressing the media during the Samaragni rally against the State and Central governments here on Friday, the Congress leaders said that the LDF had financially destroyed the State. They alleged that Supplyco was destroyed as part of a strategy to weaken the Communist Party of India (CPI), which is handling the portfolio.
“Supplyco has suffered a loss of ₹3,000 crore. It does not have 13 subsidy items. The LDF had assured that it would not increase the price of the items sold through Supplyco. Instead of keeping its word, the government slashed the subsidy. This government is pushing the people to untold misery. Therefore, the government should withdraw from the move to increase the prices of items being sold through Supplyco,” said Mr. Satheesan.
