Reviewing the performance of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government in Kerala as it is completing one year, Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan has said that the trust in the second Pinarayi Vijayan government has plummeted to an all-time low.
In an interview to The Hindu on Tuesday, Mr. Satheesan said that the law-and-order situation in the State had worsened with political and communal murders occurring each passing day. “From Kasaragod to Thiruvananthapuram, the State has turned into a goonda corridor. Convicts are out on parole. More than 14,000 identified goons are roaming around freely. The police are controlled by the CPI(M) functionaries at district levels. The people are feeling insecure,“ Mr. Satheesan said.
He said that public sectors such as the Kerala State Electricity Board, Kerala State Road Transport Corporation and the Kerala Water Authority were in bad shape. “The Health department is the worst. This LDF government, though it secured a second mandate, will not get pass marks,“ Mr. Satheesan said.
