Kerala is making progress in all sectors, including becoming a poverty-free State, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said here on Monday. He was inaugurating the valedictory session of the State Local Self-Government (LSG) Day celebrations at Kottarakara and distributing awards to the best local bodies.
“Attempts are being made to sabotage the federal system and encroach on subjects included in the State list. Through interventions in fiscal federalism they are trying to undermine the financial security of the State. In this backdrop, the LSG day celebrations gain special significance,” said Mr. Vijayan.
