It was the anti-people stance of the Congress that had led to the emergence of BJP into power.

A move to decide citizenship on the basis of religion amounts to rejecting the Constitution.

As the Chief Minister, I make it a point that review meetings are conducted every day - sometimes more than thrice a day - involving heads of all departments concerned.

Controversies will disappear once you have a task and a mission.

Drugs should be available for cheap prices for patients.

Positioning one leader against another is not necessarily how our democracy functions. We do not directly elect the president or the prime minister. We choose parties based on their policies, and their efficacy depends on how well they implement their policies.

Do not try to play politics using the health of the public during a disaster.

States with their limited resources will have to shoulder the greater burden of economic crisis that will follow the COVID-19 pandemic. The financial package announced by the Centre is inadequate.

Minorities, Dalits, farmers, students, writers - all have faced the brunt of the Narendra Modi government and risen in protest.

India is a secular nation and believers of all religions and atheists have a place in this country.

You shall have to be able to oppose communalism, only then can you say you are secular. Many political parties which claim to be secular show their weakness when it comes to the fight against communalism.

Environment conservation without stagnating development is the objective of our government.

The government's policy is to ensure a smooth environment where all political parties can function freely. The government will take appropriate action if anyone adopts a stand different from it.

With the advancements made in the medical field, we dealt with the Nipah virus and later established the Virology institute. This gave us the confidence to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.

There are no dams in Achankovil, Manimala, and Chaliyar rivers. Water in Achankovil flooded Pandalam, Manimala flooded Thiruvalla, and Chaliyar flooded Nilambur. So, based on what logic is someone saying that the reason for the floods is the opening of reservoirs?

We have no prejudiced stand, nor are we aggressive on the Sabarimala issue. The government is duty-bound to implement the Supreme Court order.

Encroachment upon the powers and rights of States also goes against the grain of the Constitution and federal principles.

It is not for me but for the people to rate the central government.

We have to continue to resist all attempts to change our constitution.

Non-Resident Keralites are a major strength to our State. They have immensely contributed to the development of the State and our economy heavily depends on them.

Rebuilding Kerala has to do with creating climate-resilient infrastructure and realising sustainable livelihoods.

We are for abstinence, not prohibition. Prohibition leads to many socio-legal problems. Wherever liquor has been prohibited, there is a tendency to consume through illegal means.

Over the last few decades, apart from other factors, direct or tacit prodding by the Centre has influenced Indian corporate groups' decisions on project sites... Politics cannot be separated from it.

The Kerala Police is the best law and order force and investigation agency in the country.

In our manifesto we have said that we will focus on reducing the demand for liquor through awareness campaigns. We will also make it an offense to serve liquor to anyone below the age of 23.

When disaster strikes, our prime objective is to save the maximum number of people. As the person heading the government, my duty is to provide all support to the flood-affected.

India has a national structure that accepts various languages. Nobody can dilute it.

People of Kerala will never allow divisive elements to succeed.

People should not feel that they are not Indians because they don't understand Hindi.

Our freedom fighters have struggled to oust imperial forces and establish a secular nation. It cannot be broken by the Sangh Parivar and Modi easily.

The aim of RSS is to build an axis of countries like U.S., India and Israel against China.

The Left government has been consistent in its approach to a development process that takes environment into consideration.

The Left is not a major electoral force in many states; in some, we are practically not there.

It is inappropriate to portray the central contribution to the Disaster Relief Fund as help for COVID-19 prevention.

The Congress has never taken a firm stand against communalism.

Land acquisition is a problem in Kerala because the available land is limited.

Central aid never comes in one disbursal; it comes in phases.

There's nothing wrong in our dam management and such allegations are baseless.

Different Left governments holding office before the High Court verdict of 1991 never tried to prevent the entry of menstruating women into Sabarimala. In the same way, Left governments never acted in opposition against the High Court verdict of 1991, which restricted the women entry.

The renaissance movement and social reformers have taught us that superstitious beliefs and customs should be challenged and opposed.

Modern Kerala is a product of the selfless social service of great visionaries.

Before we complete our term in office we will provide home for every family in Kerala. No one will remain homeless.

Historically, Kerala has been performing well on the social sector. Public health, education, and awareness have always been our core areas on which we built up our social infrastructure.

I should say unity and commitment are pivotal to the Kerala model.

Kerala has a history of being resilient... in a short span we had several crises - floods, Nipah, Ockhi, etc.

Kerala's inalienable strength is our excellent social infrastructure, built over a period of time.

The U.A.E. cannot be considered as any other nation as their rulers have underlined. Indians, especially Keralites, have contributed immensely in their nation building.

We know that police alone can't prevent violence. Support of political parties is imperative to maintain peace.

I must say the geographically small State of Kerala has been traditionally influencing the discourse of the country with progressive ideas and innovative programs. Its voice really transcends the physical boundaries of the State.

Those who are talking about withdrawing funds and grants to the states should understand that the Centre gets revenue from the states. They should realize that states like Kerala, get only a fraction in return, for every rupee that it pays to the Centre.
