"Centre not allocating funds to Kerala due to hatred for CPI(M)", say CM Pinarayi Vijayan

Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan lashed out against the centre for its alleged financial blockade against the state. Chief Minister stated that this has not weakened or disheartened the state in any way.

"While planning is usually done for developmental activities, the union government is keen on planning how to suffocate our state by denying our rightfully deserved funds," the CM said, while inaugurating the Satyagraha against the centre's move of not providing ample funds to the state, at the Martyr's Column here.
