The Left Democratic Front (LDF) State Committee on November 10, 2023 gave political sanction to “minimally increase” the price of 13 essential commodities retailed at subsidised rates through State-funded Kerala State Civil Supplies Corporation (Supplyco) outlets.
LDF State Convenor E. P. Jayarajan set no deadline for the “price hike” and said the government would work out the modalities.
Food Minister G.R. Anil sought to lessen public worry over the arguably “unpopular decision” that may resonate strongly among ordinary families.
