Thiruvananthapuram: Finance Minister KN Balagopal responded to the controversy over the mention of foreign universities in the budget. The foreign university was not taken as a policy, it was said that there should be negotiations, it is not true that there should not even be negotiations. I remember Pushpan. In response to the budget discussions, they said that they were all participants in that strike

He said.

There was a strike against the tractor forty years ago. At that time, when 13,000 workers were standing for work, the question was what kind of machine? But not like this today, workers come from other states. Understand that times are changing. All the children are going abroad and there needs to be a solution. It is estimated that around 30,000 children go abroad for education from Kerala every year. About 40,000 children also go to other states. Ten thousand crores of rupees flow out of the state in this way. Considering all these, suitable learning opportunities and employment opportunities for the new generation need to be prepared in Kerala itself.

The UDF governments and the LDF governments said that the projects including Kochi Metro, Vizhinjam Port, GAIL Pipeline, Vallarpadam Container Terminal and Kochi Water Metro are theirs.

The UDF is making a ridiculous attempt to do so.

The then Defense Minister A.K. undermined the Vizhinjam project by alleging Chinese connection. Antony and the Manmohan Singh government. Through this, 15 years were lost. But it is an example of poetic justice that the Chinese ships were the first to arrive at the port.

The opposition took a derisive stance when talking about Kerala’s rights. But the stand taken by the Supreme Court on the Kerala government’s petition is to raise the public awareness that equitable distribution of resources, which is the basis of cooperative federalism, is essential.

7 of the 8 MPs who participated in the banquet given by the Prime Minister at the Parliament Canteen were representatives of the BJP and parties not part of the India Front. Kollam MP NK Premachandran also participated with them. Balagopal said that in any case, don’t forget that the ‘red light is burning’.
