Palakkad : BJP and Congress wish for this government and Kerala to not progress an inch forward, said CPI(M) State Secretary MV Govindan . The Centre denies Kerala its due funds purely over political reasons, said MV Govindan at press conference in Palakkad, adding that, there will be no surrendering to that kind of politics.
Even the common autorickshaw folks resent media over their question on cess in Budget. Kerala has not received owings to the tune of Rs 40,000 from the Center for an year now. Kerala should duly receive 3.9 percent. Not a single media makes any mention of it however. That figure now has been slashed to 1.9. As funding for 10th allocation plan, Kerala was allotted 3.9 percent, which now is just 1.9 percent, meaning the state has lost tens of thousands of crores.
GST compensation of Rs 9000 crore remains unpaid to the state. Grant for state revenue deficit is Rs 6716 crores. Neither re being given. Rs 750 crores remains unpaid in GST arrears. Borrowing capacity is less than Rs 3500 crores. If the State does not get Rs 40,000 crores, it will become impossible to pay 60 lakh people their Social Welfare pension. Also several projects cannot be worked. Even Manorama now says Kerala must be paid its money. All denials are over political reasons. There is no plan however to yield tosuch politics. Even if the situation is such gross, the Left Democratic Front will push its way foward and strongly, said MV Govindan.
