Development means improved living standards of people, not big buildings: Kerala CM

KOCHI: (May 24) Kerala Chief Minister V D Satheesan on Sunday said that development does not mean construction of big buildings, rather it envisages improving the living standards of the people, and outlined a slew of plans to modernise and transform the port city, Ernakulam district and the state.

Speaking at an event organised to felicitate the CM, ministers and MLAs from Ernakulam district, Satheesan said the UDF plans for the state primarily include improving the economic situation of Kerala and the living standards of the people.

He said that improving the economic situation of the state was a challenge and so was taking charge of the Finance Department.
