Kerala’s Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan on December 5 (Tuesday) rebutted the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] claim that the Congress’s adjournment motion in the Lok Sabha blaming the Centre’s “fiscal hostility” for Kerala’s financial crisis contradicted the United Democratic Front’s (UDF) narrative about the State’s economic woes and validated the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government’s stance.
The Congress’s Lok Sabha member from Thrissur, T.N. Prathapan, had moved the adjournment motion blaming the Centre for the State’s financial crisis.
Mr. Satheesan claimed that the Congress had repeatedly slammed the Centre’s trespasses on fiscal federalism in the Assembly and outside.
