Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan here on Wednesday slammed the Left Democratic Front government for taking sides with the BJP and pushing the State to an incredibly dire financial situation.
In an interaction with the media in Kottayam , Mr.Satheesan pointed out that it was quite astonishing that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan remained silent on the accomplishments of his government over the last eight years. Kerala finds itself in an incredibly dire situation, one that remains unspoken by its leadership.
``It’s disheartening to note that the government recently asserted in court that social security pensions are not a guaranteed right. Pensions are not mere favours bestowed by the Chief Minister, they are obligations of a welfare State,’’ he said.
