Kerala Assembly Passes Resolution Urging Centre to Address State's Budget Concerns
On February 4, 2026, the Kerala Assembly passed a resolution, led by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, urging the central government to address what it described as ongoing neglect of the state. The resolution highlighted the exclusion of Kerala's demands, such as establishing an AIIMS and a high-speed rail corridor, from the Union Budget 2026-27. The CM also criticized reductions in rural employment funding and the treatment of the Vizhinjam port project. The opposition Congress-led UDF boycotted the proceedings, citing lack of consultation on the resolution.
