more-inThe Centre through the implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST) is trying to usurp the powers of the State governments, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said. He said the BJP was following more aggressively the neoliberal policies followed by the Congress. “The root cause of many of the issues we face now are the neoliberal policies which the Congress has been following. The Bharatiya Janata Party came to power pointing at the pathetic situation of farmers and workers under the previous United Progressive Alliance government. But it has gone on to implement the same policies responsible for their situation, with renewed vigour,” he said.
