Mysuru, Dec 26: The protests against CAA and NRC are going on mainly in BJP ruled states and not in non-BJP ruled states, former minister SA Ramadas said on Wednesday, seeking to give the issue a different spin. He said the agitation pattern indicates that the opposition parties are creating ruckus by misleading people about CAA and NRC.

Ramdas, who is BJP MLA from Krishnaraja segment, conducted an awareness programme on CAA and NRC to commemorate former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s birth anniversary.

“The BJP government has enacted amendments to the citizenship law to grant citizenship to religious minorities of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh, who had to flee their homeland facing persecution. The opposition is indulging in misinformation and falsehood campaigns about CAA and NRC. The law has nothing against Muslims,” Ramdas said.

Muslim and Jain community leaders too took part in the awareness programme.

Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 7: Making a scathing attack on the Central government, Kerala Finance Minister Thomas Issac on Friday said the BJP-led NDA government was "strangulating" the southern state by denying funds.

Presenting the 2020-21 budget of the Pinarayi Vijayan led-LDF government, he alleged the centre has been "helping" corporates rather that the common man.

"The Centre has been strangulating Kerala by denying funds for the state and has been moving on a self-destructive path by corporate-friendly policies and privatisation. The GST implementation has not been beneficial for the state," he said.

"The government proposes 2.5 lakh water connections in the upcoming financial year. We will also construct one lakh houses under Life Mission," the finance minister said.

The budget has allocated Rs 90 crore for Pravasi Welfare Fund and the government proposes power projects with a capacity of 500 MW.

"The government proposes Kochi development plan with a fund of Rs 6,000 crore. The city will get an unified travel card and Metro project will be extended," Issac said.

The state government has increased all welfare pension funds by Rs 100, allotted Rs 40 crore to paddy farmers and Rs 10 crore for startups in the state.

The local self-governments have been allotted Rs five crore for waste management, Rs 20 crore has been set apart for 1,000 food stalls under hunger-free Kerala, where meals will be made available at Rs 25.
