The CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) will stage a protest in front of the Raj Bhavan on September 21 demanding a correction in the Central government policies that financially choke the State and hamper its development programmes.
State-level leaders of the LDF and its people’s representatives in Thiruvananthapuram district would participate in the protest that will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., LDF convener E.P. Jayarajan said in a statement.
While the Centre attempted to strangle Kerala financially, the Opposition UDF in the State was unwilling to raise its voice in protest. The Opposition stand was defined by a blinkered political view and a docile attitude towards the Centre, Mr. Jayarajan alleged. This, he added, could only be viewed as vindictiveness towards the State.
