Palakkad – The state government has given strict instructions to the district administrations not to cooperate with the Vikasit Bharat Sankalp Yatra conducted by the Center on the model of Nava Kerala Sadas to spread the development achievements of the state government. The Prime Minister’s Office has suggested that Governor Arif Muhammad Khan should attend the state-level inauguration at Attapadi today as ministers, officials and people’s representatives are completely absent. Union Minister V. Muralidharan will also participate.

Chief Secretary at the state level and Collector at the district level are the nodal officers for the central government schemes. In some districts, an initial meeting was held with state level officials, but later the government suggested that they should not cooperate at all. The information is that the instructions have been received from the Chief Minister’s office. With this, the state level responsibility was given to the presidents of the bankers committee. The public relations department has also informed that they will not give news about the project.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Rs 24,000 crore scheme for the Praktana tribe in Jharkhand today at a ceremony in Attapadi through video conference. Even though the project will bring huge benefits to the tribals of Kerala, Kerala has not clarified its position. Although central and state officials have held several meetings regarding the project, today the officials of Scheduled Tribes Development Department of the state are not participating.

Vikasit Sankalp Yatra is planned to spread the achievements of 9 years of central government ahead of Lok Sabha elections. For this purpose, the Congress and the opposition have come out against the appointment of officers in the post of Joint Secretary, Director and Deputy Secretary as ‘Charge Officer’.

Re-examination Committee Appointed to Study Recommendations of Participatory Pension Scheme for State Government Employees

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com November 2, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM ∙ A committee comprising Finance and Law Ministers and the Chief Secretary has been appointed to study in detail the recommendations of the Re-examination Committee regarding the Participatory Pension Scheme for State Government Employees. The government has not yet released the contents of the report submitted by the review committee in April 2021, even after being instructed by the Information Commissioner. The case in this regard is now in the Supreme Court.

The scheme, which was launched in the state on April 1, 2013, now has one and a half lakh employees as members. In the 2016 assembly elections, it had promised to review the participatory pension scheme if the Left Front came to power. However, the committee was appointed when the tenure of the first Pinarayi government was about to end. The report given by the committee was not examined by the government even after 2 years.

The cabinet has taken a decision on one of the main demands of the employees amid intense anger among the employees over non-payment of salary revision and dearth allowance. The approaching Lok Sabha elections also led to this decision. It is indicated that the recommendation of the expert committee report is that there are practical obstacles to the withdrawal of the participation pension scheme and instead more benefits should be given to the employees.

The government has two options either to withdraw the participation pension scheme or to maintain the scheme with more benefits. Even though the central government and many states have increased the government allocation for the pension scheme, Kerala is not ready to increase it.

March against the project in Delhi

The Parliament along with the CPM’s service organizations are marching tomorrow demanding the withdrawal of the Participatory Pension Scheme across the country. CPM organizations had to face severe criticism from the employees in the campaign for this. 6 states including Congress-ruled Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan have withdrawn from the scheme.

Later, as soon as he got inside, when he sought a response, Dutta hit out at the media.

Dattan, who entered through the barricade, was talking to the police officer and was walking away when the journalists sought his response. The journalists’ question was about the difficulty caused due to the sanctions. An angry Duttan’s reaction to the journalists is as follows:

‘Don’t you all have a job? If that’s the case, go find it.’

The UDF started the blockade of the secretariat from 6.30 am, demanding that the crisis in the ration distribution sector be resolved and that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who is leading the corrupt administration, resign.

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com October 6, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Thiruvananthapuram – Under the leadership of UDF, the Secretariat will be blockaded on the 18th of this month, demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who is leading the corrupt administration, and demanding that the ration distribution crisis and price rise be controlled. UDF Convener MM Hasan said that half a lakh activists from all districts will participate in this program called ‘Ration Shop to Secretariat Blockade’.

Prior to this, between 10th and 15th of this month, 12 volunteers selected in all panchayats will organize a proclamation march. Activists of Thiruvananthapuram district will besiege the secretariat from 6 am on 18th. Those from other districts will concentrate at Asan Square and move towards the Secretariat in a procession. The Secretariat has imposed an investigation into cases like AI camera scam, Masapadi etc., and immediate payment of Rs 48 crore commission due to ration debtors for distribution of free kit during Covid.

The UDF will organize public hearings in all 140 constituencies as an alternative to the public meetings conducted by the Chief Minister and ministers to bring the government’s programs to the people. Through this charge sheet prepared against the government, the real picture of the crumbling Kerala is intended to be conveyed to the people. The next UDF coordination committee will take a final decision on organizing the impeachment hearing.

Karakulam Krishnapilla Chairman, Abdul Hameed MLA and MP Saju as convenors will organize a meeting of collaborators in Thiruvananthapuram on 16th under the leadership of the cooperative protection platform formed by UDF. Pro-UDF sympathizers will participate in the sympathizers meeting with the slogan ‘Protect the investors, thwart the robbers’. Senior UDF leaders including opposition leader VD Satheesan will also participate in the meeting.

UDF will spread the strike against CPM’s looting of co-operative societies. UDF associates will participate in seminars and discussions conducted by the State Co-operative Department to counter the central government’s attempts to undermine the co-operatives. But MM Hasan said that he will not hold joint meetings or strikes with the left.

UDF MPs Fail to Protest Against Central Government’s Policies: Pinarayi Vijayan

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com September 13, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Thiruvananthapuram – Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that the UDF MPs from Kerala were not ready to protest against the central government’s policies which are putting Kerala in crisis. The Chief Minister was speaking during the emergency resolution debate on Kerala’s financial situation. The opposition walked out of the assembly protesting the government’s reply. The Chief Minister said that the MPs from Kerala had decided to submit a joint petition against the Centre’s neglect. All the parties responded positively in the meeting of MPs. However, the UDF MPs were not ready to sign the petition or go together. UDF could have pointed out if there was any mistake in the preparation of the petition. The Chief Minister also alleged that the UDF has taken the stand that it is not ready to sign.

In his reply speech, Finance Minister KN Balagopal said that despite having 18 UDF MPs, nothing is being done for the state. It was agreed in the meeting of MPs that they can fight against the central policy together. This is recorded in the minutes of the meeting. Union Ministers have been seen together before on the common problems of Kerala. Union Ministers were seen together on the issue of Western Ghats. The finance minister also asked if they are ready to hold a joint dharna against the central policy. Central policy is the reason for the financial crisis of the state. The finance minister said that if the UDF stops to flow honey and milk to the Centre, the people will recognize it.

Leader of the Opposition VD Satheesan said that the Finance Minister is continuously insulting the UDF MPs. “It is not right to criticize the speeches given by MPs in Parliament. Members of Parliament in Kerala have been continuously suspended for speaking against central policy. The government has not said that it will call a meeting of MPs and submit a petition to the Centre. Ilamaram Karim MP asked UDF MPs to sign a paper. The UDF MPs said they would sign if the government asked. When the Chief Minister or the Finance Minister goes to Delhi, an LDF MP is taken along. The government usually calls a meeting of MPs before the Parliament session. “Only one meeting has been called in the past,” Satheesan pointed out.

“Whatever you say, the UDF MPs will win the Lok Sabha elections with a majority of over one lakh. This is the first time that MPs are being abused in the House. UDF will publish the issues raised by MPs for Kerala in the Lok Sabha. The Finance Minister did not say anything about the tax revenue raised by the opposition. “The tax administration department is a failure,” said the leader of the opposition.
