100 days of people-centric governance despite financial stress: Keralam Home Minister

In the span of 100 days, Kerala's Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala highlighted that the State government remained focused on public welfare despite facing financial difficulties. Chennithala noted the lack of labour strikes during this year's Onam celebrations, attributing it to the stability of governance. He reaffirmed the cabinet's dedication to providing all entitled benefits to citizens during the inauguration of Shibu Baby John's Chavara constituency MLA office for Forest, Wildlife, and Skill Development.

Chennithala praised the Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP) for demonstrating strategic maturity in the Payyannur election segment. Despite the party being allocated within the United Democratic Front (UDF) alliance, the RSP leadership, including Shibu Baby John, showed prudence by waiving their right to contest on their own symbol and supporting Kunhikrishnan instead.

Chennithala criticized the previous administration's performance over the past decade, attributing the UDF's electoral surge to public discontent with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and discontent among CPI(M) workers. Speaking at the event, N.K. Premachandran emphasized the election of four RSP MLAs and Kunhikrishnan's victory in Payyannur as a resounding rejection of political opponents' doubts about the party's relevance in Kerala's politics.
