The new CPI(M) Left Democratic Front government in Kerala will be a people's government and will function beyond caste, religious and political barriers, Chief Minister-designate Pinarayi Vijayan, said today. He also sought cooperation from people of all walks of life for betterment of the state.


"This will be a people's government and will function for the welfare of the people. There will be no caste, religious and political barriers and we will function with that spirit," he said addressing his first press meet after being elevated as chief minister-designate of the new government.


"Everyone has the right in this government and society should understand that if people turn their back, democratic process will not be complete. It is the people's cooperation which strengthens democracy," he said, asserting that government will function for justice, brotherhood, prosperity and growth.


The new government will be sworn in at 4 pm tomorrow at the Central stadium in Thiruvananthapuram and people from various walks of life would attend. After the swearing-in, the first cabinet would meet by around 6.30 pm, he said. Vijayan said he had not yet received the list of all the ministers and would meet the state Governor only tomorrow morning after the list was ready.
