@RishiJoeSanu@tovarischrizzz@grok Look at 45 yrs of KL GDP data ⬇️
idk where this “worst performer” tag even fits.
Even last decade’s CAGR:
15–18:7.2%
18–22:2.4%
22–24:6.2%
We all know what went down post-2018..sm sectors still struggling & recovery’s been slow, true..but nothing to prove a structural failure
@thaan_aarua If BJP wants to eliminate INC & turn KL into a BJP vs LDF fight, Mallus will only lean Left…meaning LDF will have a near-permanent hold on power.
അത് അതറിയാത്തവരാണൊ BJP?
INC+ML combo in power is exactly what they want to push their communal agendas in KL.
@RishiJoeSanu Afaik at least 7 major communal riots have occurred in Kerala,
All of them, every single one happened during one party’s tenure in power.
Or for more recent trends: 87 vs 1 ⬇️
@georgysthomas ₹43 lac is the daily expense to dredge
few stretches around Cochin Port. There’s no feasible way to dredge such long channels through West coast canal.
All the bridges were built with single stack barges in mind, with 6m navigable clearance. Isn’t that enough?
Dear Malayalis 🙏🏻
Please don't trust the free bus travel promised by the Congress in Kerala
Congress promised a similar free bus travel scheme for women in Telangana and simultaneously increased the general bus fare, which directly burdened the women’s father, husband, or son👇🏻
@georgysthomas Or take new KIIFB bridges across the National Waterways: Azhikkal, Perumapalam, Makkekadave, Valiyaazheekkal.
All of them have clearances in the 6-12m
Most KIIFB bridges are taller than older bridges in KL, as they are now built under the Rebuild Kerala project after the floods.
@georgysthomas This Nayarthodu bridge has about 6 m navigational clearance above the max flood level, which is good enough for single stack container barges.
@viprabuddhi Idh a consolidated data, but plz do compare them, at least for academic curiosity.
Whn repo rates⬆️ remittance falls but econ grows at 7%
When repo rates are ⬇️, remittance grows 2x, but econ slows to 4-5%
Wht ds tht tell ya abt a state that’s accused of being remittance dpndt?
@viprabuddhi If KL were dependent mainly on remittances, both would show similar YoY growth but that’s never the case.
It’s economy is far more tied to repo rates & domestic cash inflows.
Whenever repo rates are hiked, KL’s economy always takes a hit.
@viprabuddhi It’s easy to sit back & be cynical about KL.
Understanding the nuances of the prblm actually takes effort.
If KL wr truly dependent only on remittances (as ppl claim) these wouldn’t be the outcomes.
Remittances shot through the roof in last 10 yrs, yet the econ still took a hit
@viprabuddhi There was a point reduction in GDP growth after demonetisation & the pandemic led to a state wide shutdown.
Each state operates differently & for us, evn small shocks have outsized effects
What else do you think caused GDP growth to halve during ths periods & evn turn negative?
@viprabuddhi What we went through weren’t small issues…2 devastating floods, a pandemic & a demonetisation induced real estate crash, all these crippled the economy.
TFR issue isn’t a recent one.
4 years before 2018, KL was growing at 7.8%.
The next 4 years dropped to 3%.
