CM reiterates that CAA will not be implemented in State
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said that the Centre’s agenda is to divide people. “The Union government’s agenda is to divide people. This is the agenda of the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh). At the same time, there is a move to break the Constitution,” he said while addressing a press conference in Kasaragod on Tuesday. “The Congress is not fulfilling its responsibility of opposing the communalism of the RSS and protecting constitutional rights. It is joining hands with the BJP to attack the LDF,” he said. He said that the BJP’s vote share would go down in the State this time . “Union ministers have repeatedly said that the Citizenship Amendment Act will be implemented once the COVID vaccination drive is completed. The Kerala government has made it clear that it will not be implemented in the State,” the Chief Minister said.A crowd comprising farmers, researchers, professors, students, and horticulture enthusiasts thronged the ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR), Hesaraghatta, Bengaluru, on Friday for the inaugural ceremony of the Triphal Diversity Show which showcased 300 mango, 100 jackfruit, and 100 banana genotypes in collaboration with ICAR-National Research Centre for Banana, Tiruchirappalli.
