KPCC Vice President Sooranad Rajasekharan has criticised the state budget presented by Finance Minister KN Balagopal. The KPCC vice-president said that the finance minister's maiden budget was an escape from reality. Rajasekharan also submitted five cost-cutting proposals to the state finance minister through his Facebook post.
In his social media post, Sooranad Rajasekharan proposed to avoid unnecessary expenses such as the Administrative Reforms Commission, the special representative of the government in Delhi, advisers, lawyers brought from Delhi, and the special liaison officer in the AG's office.
