The Left Democratic Front (LDF) government is bracing for a season of Opposition protests.
The Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have announced, separately, a spate of agitations in the run-up to the government’s mass contact programme and the Keraleeyam gala in November-December.
Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan said both programmes were thinly veiled pre-election propaganda bankrolled by the public exchequer and a bid to cover up the government’s misdemeanours.
