The ruling Left Democratic Front government had been raising both demands before the Centre for long.The manifesto also promises a CBI investigation into the Sabarimala gold theft case and overhaul of temple administration in the state. “A time-bound CBI probe will be conducted into the Sabarimala gold theft to bring the corrupt to justice. Devaswom Boards will be restructured to increase the participation of devotees in temple administration to ensure the protection of shrines, including Sabarimala and Guruvayur. Additionally, a ‘Sabarimala Infrastructure Development Mission’ will be launched to enhance basic amenities and facilities for pilgrims,” the manifesto says.The manifesto says that Thiruvananthapuram would be transformed into a premier IT and innovation capital and Kochi primed to anchor the nation’s maritime ambitions as India’s shipbuilding hub. It envisions Kozhikode as a global destination for healthcare and medical innovation and Thrissur as the state’s cultural tourism capital. Kollam would be developed into a blue economy hub with focus on marine exports and Kannur as a strategic defence innovation centre.
