Kerala’s government just took a big step toward greener investments. On Tuesday, the state cabinet greenlit a new Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) policy to boost sustainable investments across the region. This move aims to draw in eco-friendly businesses that keep pollution low and fit right into local ecosystems.
With ESG becoming a key player in global investment choices, Kerala wants to lead the pack in India. Officials say the policy will help attract international investors who prioritize ecological balance and social good. “It’s all about smart, responsible growth,” a statement from the Chief Minister’s Office noted.
Shifting gears to politics, the Kerala Legislative Assembly wrapped up early that same day amid a fiery protest. Opposition lawmakers demanded an urgent debate on an alleged death threat against Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi. The chaos forced the Speaker to adjourn the session, with the house set to resume after Monday.
The protest kicked off after the Speaker turned down an adjournment motion. Opposition members, including Peravoor MLA and KPCC president Advocate Sunny Joseph, slammed the state government for not arresting the BJP leader behind the controversial remark. During a TV debate, the leader reportedly threatened to shoot Rahul Gandhi. Lawmakers stormed the floor, waving banners that shouted “Ensure Justice, Speaker!” as tensions boiled over.
