UDF to intensify agitations against Centre, state Govts

: The Opposition Congress led UDF in Kerala today said it will intensify its agitations against "anti-people" policies of the BJP led central government and the LDF regime in the state. Speaking after inaugurating the district-level meeting of the UDF here, Leader of the Opposition in the state assembly Ramesh Chennithala said state-wide protests would be held on June 15.
The UDF will also take out a protest march to the state Secretariat here on July 1 against the re-opening of liquor bars, he said.
Chennithala said the Narendra Modi government was causing difficulties to people by the recent notification on ban on sale of cattle for slaughter in animal markets.

He criticised the Pinarayi Vijayan led state government for its decision to open closed liqour bars from July 1.
The 'anti people' policies of the two governments will be brought to the attention of the public through the protests, he said.
Similar marches will also be held in district headquarters on July 1, he added.
