Pinarayi says Centre indifferent to State's developmental needs
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Tuesday said an unholy nexus between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress, Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) and the Jamaat-e-Islami-backed Welfare Party of India (WPI) were working overtime to scuttle the development aspirations of Kerala.
Inaugurating a Left Democratic Front-sponsored Raj Bhavan march in protest against Centre's indifference to the developmental needs of Kerala, Mr. Vijayan said a BJP-led coterie in New Delhi had attempted to throw a spanner in the works of the State's ardent bid to develop basic infrastructure.
He said the other powers worked in tandem with the BJP by discrediting key projects such as SilverLine as "quixotic, anti-environment and economically unviable". The Centre and State had agreed in principle to build a semi-high-speed railway line that would drastically reduce the travel time between Thiruvananthapuram and Kasaragod to less than four hours.
