Employees of Central government and central PSUs, outside Kerala are also donating one day salary to the Kerala Chief Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund. But his amount is directly taken in to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund. This is unwanted and unjustified. The central government should not try to rob what is given towards Kerala relief Fund.
The central government should change its policy and hand over the amount to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund.

It is a commendable record of the Kerala LDF government has give job to 70,000 youths through Public Service Commission. It has created 13,000 new jobs during these two years. This is when the Corporates and the Central government are retrenching workers / not filling up vacancies. The Kerala Road transport Corporation which was on huge loss is being restored to its past glory. Government has allotted sufficient funds for its restoration and also for payment of pension.
Kerala is the only state, in which there is no suicide by kisan. Lakhs of kisan have committed suicide all over India during this period.
Kerala is on the path of great development. The government is committed to the growth of the state.
