Thiruvananthapuram | Kerala Chief Minister V D Satheesan on Friday said that the policy address read out by the Governor indicates that the UDF government will fulfil its poll promises made to the public.
Speaking at a press conference here, Satheesan said that his government has plans and projects to transform Kerala into a port and aviation hub.
He said that the government is launching a major project centered around two international ports, integrating 17 mini ports to make Kerala a port city through a coordinated network.
"Our aim is to transform Kerala into one of India's most important aviation hubs. Since the state has four international airports within a relatively small geographical area, we already possess the necessary foundation for major aviation projects. The government is envisioning a long-term plan to make Kerala the largest aviation hub in South Asia," he said.
The government's policy address was read out in the House by Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar earlier in the day.
