Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Sunday accused Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman of making false claims about the Union government’s financial assistance to the State government to cover up the Centre’s flaws and its attempts to scuttle various development projects in Kerala.
Mr. Vijayan listed the details of funds withheld by the Union government at various times while opening the Navakerala Sadas of the Thiruvambadi Assembly constituency here on Sunday. He said the Union government’s contribution towards implementing social security schemes, estimated as ₹579 crore, was not allotted on time to support the State.
