KOCHI: CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury has castigated Prime Minister Narendra Modi for spreading “blatant lies” about the development situation in Kerala. In a twitter message, Mr. Yechury took umbrage of Mr. Modi’s speech in Palakkad on Friday claiming that the state has not seen any development for the 60 years.
“Kerala remains the only state in India to have high human development, as per UN parameters”, Mr. Yechury said. He also posted the image of HDI along with the tweet.

He said “The LDF is not going to rest on its past laurels but we won't accept blatant lies insulting Kerala & the achievements of its people”. Mr. Yechury however stated “Yes, LDF has a lot to do after winning elections but the data speaks for itself about Kerala, compared to all states.”
