Congress chieftains K Sudhakaran and VD Satheesan challenged the LDF to have an open debate on development projects and put forth a question: to which all developmental activities has LDF extended its support?
Sudhakaran challenged the LDF and asked whether it has guts to have an open discussion on developmental front. While Satheesan cited the instances when LDF 'opposed the development projects'. He listed the projects one by one and how LDF responded to it.

Satheesan added that UDF has always welcomed development and its only concern is that such projects should not destructive in nature.
