Union Minister Suresh Gopi has urged the public to refrain from criticizing the UDF government regarding Kerala's power crisis, citing the responsibility of previous administrations. He also dismissed claims of a political deal between the UDF and the BJP.
Why it matters
The statement highlights ongoing political tensions and power struggles in Kerala, reflecting the complex dynamics between state and central government officials.
Union Minister Suresh Gopi has said that he did not intend to criticise the United Democratic Front (UDF) government in Keralam for the ongoing power crisis, as previous governments were also responsible for the current situation.
“You should ask why such a situation (power crisis) emerged. The previous governments were also responsible for it,” he told mediapersons on the sidelines of the Union government’s Rozgar mela held in Kochi on Saturday.
He said that it is not yet time to criticise the performance of the UDF government. “Let us wait,” he said. He rejected allegations that there is a deal between the UDF government and the Bharatiya Janata Party.
