"It (Kerala government) is facing extreme attacks from the central government on the financial front," Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said.
Kerala is facing financial problems due to the Centre's unfriendly fiscal approach but the state will not stop implementing welfare schemes, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said on Wednesday.
Amid the continuing political slugfest between the ruling BJP at the Centre and opposition parties in the states over doling out freebies, Vijayan asserted that Kerala does not accept the central government's stand that there should be no freebies.
"Efforts are being made to lead the state to achieve its goals without compromising development and welfare activities," Mr Vijayan, who is heading the country's lone Left-led government, said at a briefing here.
