  INDEPENDENCE DAY MESSAGE FROM CHIEF MINISTER
     
  INDEPENDENCE DAY MESSAGE FROM GOVERNOR  
  Development cannot be gauged by the growing real estate boom.   Globalisation has turned art into a consumable. Malayalam theatre should resist colonisation in the field of art.   Even educated citizens are not aware of the services due to them from Government. This ignorance, to some extent, is conducive to corruption   The new curriculum formed on the basis of the national framework will enable the students to become self-prepared.   Government will give greater impetus to the development of Malabar on industrial, educational and health fronts.   Unless we classify and protect the State’s biodiversity and traditional medicine our assets will soon end up as “Intellectual Property Right’ of the developed nations.   Energy security is as important for the State as food security.   Energy security is as important for the state as food security   Emergency measures must be taken to implement Swaminathan Committee reports for the revival of agriculture sector in Idukki district and Kuttanad so as to alleviate the miseries of farmers there.   People should be alert against members of any faith who provoke hatred towards another. The public should not tolerate those who foment racial and communal tension.   If the 1957 EMS Ministry had been allowed to complete land reforms Kerala would not have faced food scarcity.   Decrease in the area of paddy cultivation to one fourth and fall in production of paddy to one fifth is the danger that has befallen Kerala in the last fifty years   Land being considered solely for financial investment is an affront and a challenge to Kerala land reforms   Judiciary should not interfere in policy decisions of Government.   A minority cell has been constituted under General Administration Department to implement Sachaar Committee report based welfare measures.   The Central Government must take over the procurement and supply of food grains from private hands and strengthen public distribution system through out the country.   State Council for Science, Technology and Environment (KCSTEC) has been asked to make interventions and evolve precautions to face the climate change in the State.   Decision to withdraw import duty on edible oils is a big blow to Kerala as it will bring down the price of coconut   In order to help monopolist traders the Central Government further reduced State’s ration quota against the persistent request of the State Government to increase it, while the State faces a severe crisis of price rise.   State Government will procure whole stock of paddy from farmers including damaged quantities to be used for making cattlefeed   Self – restraint must be observed at Kannur in the face of whatsoever provocations from whatsoever quarters.   Government will invite the heads of Christian Churches very soon for discussions and the differences with them will be solved.   In every age conservatives are unnerved by emerging new ideas. The absurd argument that communism is included in textbooks must be seen in this light.   Any move to increase working time to ten hours proposed in the Central budget will be resisted by the Country’s labour force.   The root cause of the problem of farmers is the liberalised import policy with unrestricted flow of farm produce from other countries. There is nothing in the Central budget to correct this.    National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme will be implemented in all districts of Kerala from April 1   Government has decided to construct new dam at Mullaperiyar, 1300 ft. downstream the existing dam, at an estimated cost of Rs. 216 crores   Those who committed wrong in HMT land deal would not be exonerated by Court.   It is ironical that the party in power at the Centre whose policies are responsible for price-rise in the country has staged a hartal against it in the State   The present Government is committed to protect public lands and recover them from land grabbers. Irregularities, if any, in the H.M.T. land deal and also in any previous land deals would be found out   Measures will be taken to alleviate the sufferings of farmers in all districts.   Government is going ahead with the efforts to setup IT parks in all districts within the next 5 years   NSS and Church are raising issues on which Government has not taken any decision   Munnar mission will continue and Government land will be liberated   Reduced rice quota to the State must be restored to check price rise   Land reforms have not fully achieved their goal in the State   Opposition furor against price rise is sheer self deception 
YOUR CHIEF MINISTER LATEST
Resolute. Uncompromising. Clean. No other words would best describe the almost seven decade long political life of Sri. V. S. Achuthanandan, Kerala’s Chief Minister. Comrade VS to his followers, he carries with him the dreams of the man on the street.....

 The Question why India cannot sign a nuclear deal with America when China has already done has no meaning because China had been acknowledged as a nuclear power by the U.S.

 While the centre is aggravating market fluctuations through its flawed farm and retail market policies, the State Government is trying its best to hold the price line under control through effective market intervention.

 There is a group, however small, in the civil service community, who do not live up to society’s expectations of them. Corruption, inordinate delays and red tape have to be remedied. Even with computerization service to the public are being delayed.

 There have been a series of judgments undermining the rights of the working class and in favour of the property owners and capitalists. The judiciary have been increasingly framing its judgments to uphold the free market principle and policies of privatization.

 The Centre has been abandoning the policy of supporting public distribution systems in States. Monopolies such as Reliance were allowed to procure rice and wheat and store them in FCI godowns

 The Center should not deliver another deadly blow to Kerala farmers by permitting multinational corporations to introduce genetically modified seeds in our farm sector. Such seeds are proven to cause diseases in human beings and degrade environment.

 The latest recommendations of the Planning Commission to the Union Government to entirely open up banking, insurance, health, education and retail sectors to foreign and Indian Private Capital show how imperialist globalization forces are tightening their noose on the country. Professional education in the country is already in a dirty state. In fact the need at this moment is a strong Central legislation to check profiteering in the education sector.

 The endless waiting and consistent pressure of the State on the Centre for the Kannur airport have at last borne fruit when the centre’s approval for a greenfield airport there was given. The State Government has already begun taking steps to acquire 2000 acres of land for the purpose at Moorkhan parambu in Kannur

 Scarcity of edible oils being experienced in the country is not because of natural reasons but engineered by policy interventions of the Central Government.

 Delay in the visit of the central team to assess agricultural damages caused by very heavy summer rains is due to the misleading of Prime minister and Agriculture Minister by the opposition in the state with the lie that damage was not due to rain, but by scarcity of labourers and the interference of labour union offices

 Don’t push coconut farmers into debt-trap : CM: A ban on the export of coconut oil along with reduction in duty on imports of other edible oils is a grave injustice. There is no shortage of coconut oil in the State. The exports are mainly for overseas Keralites. Hence the decision will cause difficulties to them and hit the coconut oil market. Thus, while the Centre is trumpeting the farm-loan waiver, it is actually pushing farmers into debt trap through its liberalisation policies.

 Shri. V.S. Achuthanandan as Chief Minister, after wide-ranging consultation with political parties within the Government and in the opposition took the momentous peace initiative of calling an all party peace committee meeting under his aegis on 15th March, 2008, at Kannur.

 Finance Minister P. Chidambaram presented the Central budget standing firm on globalisation. Nothing in the budget offers permanent relief to our people. Former Prime Minister Narasimha Rao had reduced import tariffs much against the foreign economic policies of Jawaharlal Nehru. This caused downfall in the prices of farm produce. The situation has worsened ever since. Still the Finance Minister has not even looked at this basic problem.

 A metro rail system for the emerging megalopolis of Kochi becomes a reality. The State Cabinet has given approval for implementing the Kochi metro rail project by the Delhi Metro Company in joint sector with the Centre. The stake of the state government in the Rs. 3000 crore project will be Rs. 450 crores viz, 15 per cent. A company under the name Kochi Metro Rail Corporation will be registered for the purpose.

 Invasion of the culture of globalization has reduced connoisseurs of art into its mere customers.

 Colonialisation is hanging above India now in the form of the nuclear deal. The Congress Government is now demolishing the anti-coloniasation campaigns led by the great leaders such as Bhagat Sing and Gandhiji.

Message, Greetings & Grievances

The acquisition spree of land by land mafia has been the biggest problem confronting the LDF Government of Kerala. A series of measures kick starting from Munnar evictions followed by probes into illegal amassment of land, led by Deputy Collectors at Village, Taluk and Registration offices, the steps to cancel controversial registry of land plots and draft notification of fair value of land in all villages have helped to contain the onslaught of land sharks in the state. Don’t you feel the ground situation of land transactions is becoming brighter and transparent?
