Hello
Opposition Leader VD Satheesan, during the general discussion on the Budget in the Assembly, used the occasion to recall old meetings that went largely uncriticised or unknown.
UDF MLA K Moideen said that all the steps the government was claiming to have taken were on paper only and nothing was done on the ground level.
The contract said by Satheesan was signed by the previous UDF government to source power for 25 years at a nominal rate of Rs 4.29 per unit.
The minister made the provocative insinuation that the UDF, by speaking of Supplyco's problems, was making way for the entry of big corporate houses to Kerala's retail sector.
Both the Opposition legislators found the subtle shift in the CPM's education policy the best chance to strike back at the ruling party for all the insults it had heaped on them.
Introducing the resolution, Finance Minister K N Balagopal said the Centre has reduced Kerala's borrowing limit and slashed the revenue deficit grant.
The Registrar of Companies, under the Corporate Affairs Ministry, had earlier called for a detailed investigation into the CMRL's transactions with Veena Vijayan and her company.
The Panchayatiraj Bill envisaged imprisonment of up to one year and a fine of Rs 50,000 for those who discard waste in public places.
Khan's brinkmanship was on display on all years since his first address in 2020, except last year and 2021.
There was no unbridled attacks on the Centre or on the Governor’s office, nor were there pontifications about secularism.
