KANNUR: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has accused the Opposition of trying to create violence in various ways during the Nava Kerala Sadas, the state Government’s outreach programme. “But people remained remarkably restrained,” he said while addressing the anniversary meeting of the Parapram conference.
The Opposition tried to create various kinds of violence. Leader of the Opposition tried to stir up tension during Nava Kerala Sadas. They sent assailants armed with logs with nails on them, chilli powder etc. But people remained restrained, he said.
Pinarayi said the Central government has a grudge against Kerala. “The Centre tried to abolish the pension of the poor. Interference in Kerala’s financial affairs is unconstitutional. The Union Minister was forced to say that Kerala was not being neglected as a result of the Nava Kerala Sadas,” he said.
The Chief Minister criticised BJP’s Sneha Yatra, an outreach programme aimed at connecting with the Christian community in the state. “If you go to the polls after putting the nation to shame, will the people listen? Protection should be given when it is due,” he added
