Pinarayi Vijayan, the chief minister of Kerala, praised the policy initiatives of Telangana’s Kanti Velugu program, stating that it is improving governance and public services in the state in a way that has never been seen before in India. He made these remarks during the BRS inaugural meeting in Khammam on Wednesday. Vijayan also congratulated the state government on the inauguration of the new collectorate complex in Khammam. He commended KCR for bringing leaders from various parties and states together at a time when the Constitution is facing challenges.
Vijayan criticized the BJP, saying that the followers of those who apologized to colonizers and promised to serve the imperial crown are in power today. He alleged that those in power today were not active during the national freedom struggle and do not understand the values on which the country is built. He claimed that they seek to alter the basic structure of the country, democracy, and Constitution, even as they call for celebrations such as Azadi ka Amrut Mahotsav.
