The Opposition UDF staged a walkout in the Assembly on Tuesday, accusing the Left Democratic Front government of doing next to nothing to overcome the “grave financial situation” faced by the State.
The government has “miserably failed” in improving tax collection, checking wasteful spending and launching economic measures for handling the crisis, the Opposition members alleged, participating in a discussion in the House on the fiscal situation.
In the morning, responding to an adjournment motion moved by the Opposition, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had agreed to discuss the financial situation by suspending the day’s business. Thereafter, Speaker A.N. Shamseer had declared that the subject would be discussed for two hours from 1 p.m.
