Reliance on private capital to bring in investment and create jobs, dependence on science and technology to root out corruption and pollution, and a push for voluntary donation of land seem to be the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government’s panacea for creating “happiness” in local bodies.
It was Minister for Local Self-Governments M.V. Govindan who laid out this “plan of action” while opening a district-level meeting of local body representatives and officials here on Tuesday. It was titled ‘Navakerala Thaddesakam’, a project that is part of ‘Rebuilding Kerala’.
