The 15th State conference of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI), which is progressing at Pathanamathitta, on Thursday declared unequivocal support to the Silver Line project of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government.
Addressing the mediapersons, DYFI State president S. Satheesh said politically motivated attempts were being made to scuttle the project, which had the potential to ensure infrastructure development and employment generation. The organisation would kick start a campaign in favour of the project immediately after the State conference, he said.
Mr. Satheesh also sought to dispel the criticisms over the Kerala government sending its Chief Secretary to Gujarat to study its Chief Minister’s Dashboard system for project implementation. “Visiting another State or even a foreign country to learn about their model of administration is a routine practice for any government,” he said.
