Kerala CM inaugurates ‘Vikasana Sadassu’ initiative of Thiruvananthapuram Corporation

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has called for a united stand among all political parties in developmental projects beneficial to the State. He was speaking after inaugurating the ‘Vikasana Sadassu’ programme of Thiruvananthapuram Corporation on Monday. Over the next month, in the run-up to the upcoming local body elections, a series of events will be held across the State to popularise the achievements of various local self government bodies. “Political differences should not adversely affect Kerala’s development. Those sitting in the Opposition in local bodies should also extend all possible support to developmental activities. But, it is unfortunate that those in responsible positions do not agree with this sometimes. The State government has not displayed any political differences in extending support to all local bodies equally. There has been no complaint from any local body in this regard. Unlike this, the State is being treated unfairly by the Union government which has been denying it support and funds,” said Mr. Vijayan.
