Kerala CM who is famed for begging for more in front of the central government and returning to spread hatred towards the union government among the people of Kerala has once again come up with fresh allegations. According to his latest complaint, the BJP-led central government of trying to destroy the state by ‘squeezing’ it financially and putting obstacles in the path of its development.
Charging the Centre with attempting to curtail even the limited rights of the state, he said they were trying to impose a particular kind of “financial pressure” on the southern state with an objective to destroy it. The Chief Minister was speaking after inaugurating the state conference of the PSC employees union here.
The union government was continuing its efforts to violate the federal principles prevalent in the country, he alleged. “Our state’s deserved revenue grant is slashed and effort is on to curtail its borrowing limit. The attempt is to push our state into a deep crisis,” he said.
Claiming that the union government was ‘usurping’ the powers of the state, the Marxist veteran further said this has become a “bane” for the country. The Centre’s attitude was “we can do anything and you cannot”, he said, adding that it was even trying to take over the cooperative sector.
By keeping one million positions vacant, the union government was trying to destroy the employment sector of the country, he added. Vijayan also warned against attempts to weaken the constitutional institutions of the country and create division among the people.
