Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said that the Opposition United Democratic Front (UDF) and the Congress seem to have adopted an anti-Kerala attitude akin to the BJP to ruin the State.
Addressing the Navakerala Sadas for the Thrikkakara Assembly constituency on Monday, Mr. Vijayan slammed the Leader of the Opposition for turning down a request by the State Cabinet to project a united front in fighting the Centre’s discrimination against Kerala. “Unfortunately, the Opposition leader had taken the position that it [the Opposition] did not want to have any understanding with us,” he alleged.
Not a single Member of Parliament out of the 18 UDF MPs has raised any opposition to the Centre’s neglect of Kerala, Mr. Vijayan said. He added that despite making all-round progress, the State was in financial crisis owing to hurdles posed by the Centre.
