Thrissur: Congress and UDF leaders who criticise the Kerala Govt, do not utter a word against the central government, said Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. Congress and Muslim League stand by the view that there should be no utterances that could discomfort BJP. That’s the kind state-level unison they have, said CM, speaking at LDF campaign meeting in Thrissur.
The Modi govt has made no recruitments in over 8 lakh posts that lie vacant. Congress is not however ready to point a finger at that. Kerala made record 1,60,500 appointments via PSC. The Govt instructed that all vacancies be reported to PSC and a Committee headed by Chief Secretary was formed for this purpose. Yet, Congress and BJP tried hard to mislead people saying jobs were not given in the govt sector.
The centre has put country’s public sector on sale. None of these parties have a criticism on that however. The centre decided to privatise Thiruvananthapuram airport. The LDF govt resisted the move. However, it was eventually sold to Adani and a Congress MP openly welcomed the deal. That’s Congress.
5 years of LDF government made Kerala the country’s least corrupt state. The finding came about in surveys made by national agencies. That status elated Kerala’s repute both inside and outside the country. Public sector units are gaining strength inside Kerala. Loss-making units changed into profitable businesses. Public sector unit was ruined by UDF under its rule. The LDF govt gave houses to 2 lakh families in the past five years. 5 lakh more homes will be delivered in next 5 years - a promise stated in the election manifesto. By contrast, UDF threatens to dissolve LIFE mission should it come to power. Can an organisation of humans speak in this manner? People should be able to put all these things together and pave way for continued LDF rule in state, said Chief Minister.
