💨 Abstract

Union Minister George Kurian suggested that Kerala should declare itself as backward in terms of education, infrastructure, and social welfare to receive more funds from the Central government. This comes after criticism from the ruling CPI(M) and the opposition Congress in Kerala over the Union Budget 2025-26, accusing the central government of neglecting the state's demands. Kerala's leaders termed the budget "condemnable" and "unfortunate."
