Provision kit supplied by State govt is bogus: K Surendran

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: BJP State president K Surendran has alleged that the kit of provision items to be distributed by the State government is bogus.

“The kit is not even worth Rs 750. Many people who went to receive the kit from morning onwards had to return without it,” he alleged.

Surendran said the government should be ready to spend money it is having. The chief minister and ministers should be ready for salary cuts. Unnecessary cabinet positions should also be reduced.

“Some people are playing cheap politics as the Covid prevention activities are going on. Kerala has not utilised the total amount of Rs 2000 cr it received during floods.

For Employment Guarantee scheme, the Centre had given Rs 238 cr to the State. The Centre can’t be blamed for the overspending of the State government,” Surendran said.
