While the one-hour speech was dominated by proposals to deal with Covid-19, it also underlined a cash-strapped state’s desperate struggles to survive the pandemic’s socio-economic impact.
Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], June 3 (ANI): The first budget of the new Left Democratic Front ( LDF) government in Kerala will be presented by Finance Minister KN Balagopal on Friday.
“It was the LDF government that issued the orders in 2011 by diluting a scheme meant exclusively for the Muslim students. The court has found those orders legally invalid,” the MLA and MP said.
The Kerala High Court on Friday quashed State Government Orders, sub-classifying the minorities by providing merit-cum-means scholarship at 80 per cent to Muslim community and 20 per cent to Latin Catholic Christians and Converted Christians, saying it cannot be legally sustained.
