Sharpening the attack against the Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said on Thursday there was only one ‘Kerala story’ in the State. It is the story of the fight of Kerala to achieve its rights and improve the living standards of the people in the State.
Around 64,000 people in the State were found to have been in poverty in categories such as aged, sick, and destitute. By 2025 November 1, Kerala would be the first State in the country to be free of poverty through sustained and coordinated efforts, said Mr. Vijayan.
He was speaking after inaugurating the Left Democratic Front (LDF) election meetings at various parts of the Attingal constituency on Thursday as part of the electioneering of Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] candidate V. Joy.
