Kerala opposition leader Oommen Chandy appreciates non resident
Keralites for contributing in development works for the state
in the last 50 years of its formation.
It is these people who actually brought laurels to the state
through their hard work and dedication, which is certainly highly
commendable, said Chandy during the occasion held to celebrate
the golden jubilee of the state’s first government.
Though, Kerala has been making rapid strides in the field of
health and education for the past 50 years, but is not able to
retain the growth.
Speaking on the state education, he expressed the state’s
inability to make the best of the mushrooming IT sector.
There was no difference between the two rival fronts in Kerala
- the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the Congress-led
United Democratic Front (UDF) opposition, says Chandy, Either
we sit in the opposition or run the government, the ideology remains
the same.
Taking a dig at the LDF, the minister also talked about Smart
city project to be developed at a whopping amount of Rs 1500 crore
($324 million) in Kochi, saying the LDF now giving its nod as
they deny for it earlier.
