The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) on Kerala in Kerala has decided to lay siege to the Secretariat on October 30 to protest the alleged rampant corruption and administrative paralysis of the LDF government.
"NDA to hold protest against the policies of Kerala government on October 30 in Thiruvananthapuram, in the presence of party's national president JP Nadda," Kerala BJP president said. The NDA also decided to organise 2,000 campaign rallies at the local level from November 10 to 30. The main aim of the protest is to highlight the government's failure to prevent and its involvement in corruption, the loot in cooperative sectors, and inflation. The alliance will also be taking out a pan-Kerala foot march against the government's anti-people policies from December end through January. Earlier on Thursday, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that the recent proposal by a high-level committee set up by the National Council of Educational Research and Training to replace 'India' with 'Bharat' in textbooks is unacceptable. "As per the decision of NCERT's Committee on Social Science, the word 'India' should be changed to 'Bharat' in the textbooks of the academic branch. The Constitution refers to our nation as both India and Bharat. The politics behind avoiding India in it is as clear as daylight," Pinarayi Vijayan said in a statement. (ANI)
