Highlighting Kerala’s performance, he pointed to achievements in literacy, healthcare, and social development, noting that the state continues to rank among the top in national indices. He also questioned governance issues in Telangana, including administrative and financial concerns.
Vijayan further recalled that Telangana officials had earlier studied Kerala’s development model, making the criticism appear contradictory.
The sharp response has triggered a wider political discussion, drawing attention from multiple parties. The ongoing exchange reflects the growing intensity of political narratives between states.
