THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Minister P Rajeeve on Wednesday said that flags of political parties are not meant to be planted in front of industrial establishments and new projects. The Minister was replying to the discussion on Kerala Industrial Single Window Clearance Boards and Industrial Urban Area Developments in 2022.

"It should not be done by any parties. The justification made by the officials in connection with the incident in which the industrialist couple from Thalassery left their state is not correct," the minister said.

The opposition had criticized that those who come to invest in the state are being forced to run away from the state due to objections. Although AN Shamseer said that this was misleading, the minister did not support him.
