Pinarayi says

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan accused the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) of being consistent with the BJP’s “anti-Kerala” stance.

He commemorated the fourth anniversary of the state’s left Democratic Front (LDF) government on Tuesday at Kozhikode Beach.

Mr Vijayan said the Centre tried to hinder its work when the LDF government re-launched the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB) to accept the development project. He claims UDF supports it. “It is natural for the BJP to be uninterested in Kerala. That party won’t stand with the people here. But it’s strange that Congress takes an anti-Kerala stance. There’s no reason for that.”

Mr Vijayan also claimed that Kerala spent Rs 5,6 billion to release compensation for donated land to expand the land on the national highway. He said the UDF did not make any progress while in power. He said the LDF had to pay for UDF’s administrative lapses. The Chief Minister also highlighted the progress of the country in the health, education and social development sectors. Minister, leader of the Nature Party and people’s representatives were present.
