This minister is good in preaching and not in practice. The money allotted under National Water quality Monitoring for the state from the center is wasted . He played all ugly tricks in destroying the "Communication and capacity building Unit (CCDU) set up in the State for implementing such schemes. Now what is his reply to the comments of the Finance commission which reviewd the status and critised kerala for wasting funds allotted for water quality monitoring as well as rural water supply schemes?
