The Kerala assembly in a special session on Tuesday passed a resolution against the centre for “sidelining co-operative banks” with only BJP legislator O. Rajagopal opposing the move,reports IANS.
Before moving the resolution, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan assured the house that the state would not lose a single rupee put in the co-operative banks and his government would stand guarantee for it.
He also said that an all-party delegation would meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on November 24 to take up the case of the co-operative banks.
Bharatiya Janata Party member Rajagopal’s attempt to move an amendment to the motion was shot down by State Water Resources Minister Mathew T. Thomas quoting rules and procedures that were upheld by Speaker P. Sreeramakrishnan.
Thank you kerala legislators………
