CM Vijayan questions Kerala Governor’s 'unilateral' additions, deletions to cabinet-approved policy address

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Tuesday raised concerns over modifications made by Governor Rajendra Arlekar to the policy address delivered to the Kerala Assembly.

Speaking after seeing off the Governor following his 112-minute-long speech, the CM said certain clauses in the Cabinet-approved address had been omitted or altered, and stressed that the official policy address approved by the Council of Ministers should remain the authoritative version.

According to the CM, the deletions affected key passages in clauses 12, 15, and 16. Clause 12, noting Kerala’s severe financial stress caused by adverse Union government actions undermining fiscal federalism, was omitted.
