Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan led a 'satyagraha' protest, accusing the BJP-led Centre of financial discrimination and political vengeance. He alleged arbitrary cuts in grants and borrowing limits, amounting to Rs 5,900 crore for the last fiscal quarter, are strangling the state financially and undermining its rights. Vijayan called for unity against the Centre's alleged undemocratic approaches, stating the struggle is for the state's survival and dignity, impacting federalism and democracy.
