Thiruvananthapuram, June 20 (TIWN) Two time former Congress Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on Monday said both the State and the Centre have failed to do justice to the Kerala diaspora, while the Congress government has always done everything it can for their upliftment.

Chandy said that lakhs of diaspora have returned to the state following the pandemic and the Pinarayi Vijayan government has done very little to help them.  "Vijayan has nothing to say on what his government has done and to cover up, he now talks about insurance. His government has not floated any new programme, nor did he carry forward on the various schemes that my government did. All know how the Vijayan government treated the returning diaspora after Covid pandemic shook the world," said Chandy who recalled the efforts he made to bring back nurses from Iraq and Libya.
