Kochi, Oct 30: State External Affairs Minister, Shashi Tharoor came down heavily on the Left democratic Front(LDF) government on Thursday, Oct 29 for failing to bring development in Kerala.

Tharoor aacussed the government for misappropriation of 90 per cent of the fund allotted for the Mahatma Gandhi Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme allotted by the Centre for paid employment of families below poverty line for 100 days.

"This is the kind of governance that we are seeing," said Tharoor displeased over the non-utilization of 80 per cent of fund under the debt relief programme for debt-ridden farmers.
