He said this while addressing the media, here on the details of the 19th session of the 14th Kerala Assembly that begins on March 2 and will have a 27-day sitting, that ends on April 8.
"Even though there are other assemblies in the country that have turned digital, none has all the features that we have now. Now everything is available on fingertips to all the members in their seat with regard to the Questions besides everything pertaining to the daily business of the House.
