The policy address of the LDF government in Kerala by Governor P Sathasivam today at the start of the Assembly session saw him skipping portions critical of the BJP government at the centre. The Governor also omitted the reference about the "plotting" by some communal outfits in triggering riots in the southern state. There has not been any instance of communal riot in our state despite the plotting by certain communal outfits," the copy of the speech said. However, people of the state en masse responded to this campaign featuring the hash tags, the Governor said. Countering the BJP charges, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had alleged that the Janaraksha yatra had propagated "lies and false messages".
