Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has been upbeat about the overwhelmingly warm response to the ongoing Navakerala Sadas, a much-publicised Cabinet outreach programme through Kerala’s 140 Assembly constituencies.
A programme that began with the objective of meeting people and explaining to them the government stand vis-à-vis matters of development, particularly the Central government stand towards Kerala, has now become a people’s juggernaut. Irrespective of socio-political affiliations, people are welcoming the Cabinet on wheels.
Sitting in the single front left seat on the special bus that carries his ministerial colleagues as well, the Chief Minister spoke to The Hindu in a candid style during his journey from Kongad to Mannarkkad on Saturday evening.
