The Kerala Fiscal Health Report that you tabled in the Kerala Legislative Assembly actually shows that the LDF government did a good job of managing the state's finances.
Kerala has consistently had committed expenditure equivalent to around 75% of its revenue receipts for the last 15 years, and this is not something new, as you are trying to portray.
However, given the FRBM borrowing limits and the reduction in Kerala's share of Union taxes over the last decade, the LDF government's decision to reorganise KIIFB in 2016 was a strategic move to finance capital investment through off-budget borrowing. It was the only viable option available to sustain infrastructure development projects, even though it involved a slightly higher interest cost.

Has been a constant in our search for players since INEOS team took over
The ED raid against former Kerala CM @pinarayivijayan is yet another blatant misuse of central agencies by the BJP to target regional opposition parties and undermine democracy.
ED’s immediate raid after Congress started complaining about ‘inaction’, raises questions on the BJP-Congress relationship.
LATEST ED files: Enforcement Directorate conducts raids at former Kerala CM @pinarayivijayan home and 10 other sites in connection with money laundering cases. Pattern striking once again : ED hyper-active in opposition ruled states against opposition leaders, missing mostly elsewhere.
Note: An extensive @IndianExpress investigation in 2024 revealed that out of 121 prominent politicians investigated by the ED since 2014, 115 (95 per cent) were Opposition leaders. In contrast, during the UPA government's tenure (2004–2014), the percentage of ED cases involving Opposition leaders was around 54 per cent.
Are all equal before rule of ED?

Suspending the X account of “Cockroach Janata Party” exposes the BJP’s fear of growing dissent amoung the youth. A protest against unemployment, inequality & exploitation cannot be silenced through authoritarian actions. Suppressing democratic voices is against the spirit of the Constitution and democracy itself.
And Kerala also goes the way of freebies…..
One can only hope this is not the start of competitive populism here as well….
It might end up destroying all our achievements and destroy what’s left of our finances
History repeats itself…..
First as a tragedy then as a farce….
The only question is whether this would end up being a tragedy or a farce…
PS - I would be more than happy to eat my words if this goes wrong….
🚨 Michael Carrick will stay at Manchester United as permanent manager, confirmed.
Direction clear for weeks, plan also approved by Sir Jim Ratfliffe and new deal set to be signed soon.
New deal for 2 years plus option to extend or directly 3 years, but no doubts: Carrick says yes and will sign the contract.
Fighting ‘flux’ wars on the street and cyberspace is NOT inner party democracy.
Congress is NOT a Democratic Party. Everything is decided by the high command which itself is a family concern.
Not saying it has been good or bad but calling it democracy is plain stupid and lazy….
