THALASSERY: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that the central government is trying to bind Kerala and is taking a grudge approach against Kerala. He was inaugurating the Kodiyeri Balakrishnan memorial service in Thalassery.

Centre can borrow as much as it wants, but Kerala has a limit on borrowing. An attempt is being made to hinder the development of Kerala. Today there is only one government led by the left wing in the country. The Left government cannot implement the extreme right-wing positions. By January 2025, Kerala will become extreme poverty-free. UDF and BJP are taking an approach that is against the progress of Kerala. UDF is boycotting activities aimed at the good of the state.

Kodiyeri is a communist who dedicated his entire life to the party. Kodiyeri, who lost his father at a young age, has been a victim of violence by political opponents. Whenever there was violence against the party, he was at the front to defend it. It was when Kodiyeri became the Home Minister that the police was transformed from a tool of oppression to a system that benefits the people. Kodiyeri, who openly admitted to having the disease, faced it and set an example to society. Pinarayi recalled that Kodiyeri ran the entire organization like a well-oiled machine.
