There have always been allegations that Kerala Government usurps the credit for many plans and schemes implemented by the Central Government. Social media often becomes a stage for such debates and in the latest incident, Kerala’s health minister K.K Shailja’s tweet has come under some criticism.
While announcing that the state government’s share of Rs 7,13,71,133 has been allowed for Pradhanmantri Matru Vandana Yojana, she had excluded the word Pradhanmantri, an omission that supporters of BJP allege, was intentional. Arguments have been raised that she was trying to take credit for a plan by Central Govt. Check out her Tweet and some of the comments she got for the Tweet.
