THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that the continuance given by the people to the LDF government is a brilliant new beginning. He was speaking at the first press conference after being sworn in as the Chief Minister of Kerala.

He then enumerated the achievements of the previous government. He said that the change of governments in Kerala so far was an impediment to the continuity of development and the continuance in rule is conducive to the continuity of development.

The previous LDF government put forward innovative alternatives. People are not interested in meaningless controversies, they are interested in the development of the state. They want a peaceful life. The LDF government sought to address the issues of development.

The LDF government set an example for the country. Kerala has become a model for the country by carrying out major developments. The previous government defended Nipah, Ockhi and Covid and gave priority to health schemes, he said.
