THIRUVANANTHAPURAM : Minister AK Balan slammed the Centre’s 2nd consecutive rejection of Kerala tableau for Republic Day celebrations, saying, just listening to the name Kerala drives the Centre mad.
The rejection is motivated by political aims, the minister said adding that, the tableau displays were sculpted beautifully.
Kerala made it to the third round of screening on Friday, before being eliminated. The rejection follows ouster of Maharashtra and West Bengal tableaux for the upcoming Republic Day.
