Thiruvananthapuram: The second Pinarayi Vijayan-led government has completed 100 days in power. The new term began with the aim to complete the projects started in the previous term and to implement new schemes. But the fatal blow laid by the pandemic has left the government in shackles. The spread of Covid and the economic impact that it brought forth are tormenting the government.

Now it is the Covid management during the second term that is getting him the maximum criticism. Leader of Opposition VD Satheesan, unlike his predecessors who has been talking less and observing more on what's happening, said that he will not even give a pass mark for the 100 days of Vijayan's second tenure.

"Normally a 100-day period is not enough to assess any government. But since Vijayan has returned to power, it is a continuation and hence we can assess and I doubt if in the history of the state has any government taken such a beating. Just look what's happening in the fight against Covid, he has miserably failed on all counts and Kerala leads the rest of the country in Covid. I will not even give him a pass mark for his 100-days in office," said Satheesan.

While Chief Minister Vijayan said the opposition is trying to instill a sense of fear in the minds of the people through their campaign. "This is being done to take away the people's support to this government. If the Kerala model of tackling Covid is wrong, which is the model that should be adopted. The second wave arrived in Kerala late and the density of population is high in the state. All these are known to the opposition."
