Navakerala Sadas: Kerala Chief Minister slams Congress for ‘intervention’ in matters of Paravur municipality

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan vehemently criticised the Congress leadership in Kerala for allegedly trying to control local bodies.

Addressing reporters as part of the Navakerala Sadas at Vadakara in Kozhikode on November 24, 2023, he referenced the Paravur municipality in Ernakulam district and said that the Congress leadership, led by Opposition Leader V.D. Satheesan, who is also the MLA from Paravur, should not have “interfered” in the decision of the municipality to sanction ₹1 lakh for the Navakerala Sadas.

He said that the Congress’s “threat” that the chairman of the municipality would lose his position was immature. He said that the local body was being dragged into an undemocratic mode by leaders with vested interests.
