The hostile policies pursued by the State government and the local self-government bodies led by the CPI(M) have been the bane of small-scale entrepreneurs in Kerala, Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee president K. Sudhakaran has said.
The incident at Thalassery wherein a couple trying to earn a living through their small-scale furniture business was forced to shut shop and flee the State allegedly because of the intransigence of the Thalassery municipality is just one in a long line of similar incidents in the State which has been trying to project itself as industry-friendly, said Mr. Sudhakaran in a statement here on Friday.
He pointed out that it was the hostile attitude of the CPI(M)-led Thalassery municipal authorities and the apathy of the Industries department which forced the entrepreneur-couple to give up their dream and leave the State in distress.
