Congress and CPM two sides of the same coin: PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi called the Congress and the CPI-M two sides of the same coin who engage in friendly competition in Kerala, yet remain partners in Delhi.
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan while inaugurating ‘Entrepreneurship 2.0, Mission 1000’ claimed that demonetisation and “unscientific” implementation of goods and services tax (GST) caused a disaster for the country.
“We have seen the crises that came as a result of demonetisation and experienced disasters due to unscientific implementation of GST”, said Vijayan. “The state, which was thought to be devastated, managed to achieve a domestic growth of 12 per cent. We did not succumb to difficult situations and an attempt to cross it has remained successful.”
Talking about Kerala’s potential for being an Industrial state and on upcoming investments in the state Vijayan said, “It has been heard for a long time that Kerala is not a good place for industries. The proponents of this campaign are vested interests who intend to disparage our state in any way possible. They are the ones who are willing to spread the wrong things. Multinational companies are also entering Kerala but some people want to hide this.”
