Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan Saturday slammed the BJP-led NDA government for not granting clearance to the visits of state ministers abroad to raise funds from the Malayalee expatriate community to rebuild the state ravaged by the monsoon fury in August.

In a Facebook post, Vijayan, who is in the UAE as part of government plans to mobilise funds from Non-Resident Keralites, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi "failed to keep his words on the matter."
Vijayan claimed the Prime Minister had given oral permission for the visits of state ministers to foreign countries, "but he did not kept his word."
