"Unfortunately, when Kerala seeks cooperation from the Centre, we face neglect and even hostility, as if singled out for bias," Vijayan said, after inaugurating the state-level launch of Vikasana Sadas here, a platform to present development achievements of the state government and local bodies and to gather suggestions for future development. "Yet, we continue to demand what rightfully belongs to our people. Ours is a federal country, and Kerala will persist in putting forth its needs before the Union Government," he said
