In a veiled attack on the policies of the Centre, the Chief Minister, in a statement, alleged that the communal politics prevail in the country seeks to grab power of the states by weakening its federal structure. "It is destroying the concept of a nation based on secularism," Vijayan said and cautioned against the bid to make it a country based on majority religion.

On this Republic Day, let us pledge that the essence of the Constitution will not be lost," Vijayan said.

"We need to ensure that the fruits of development reach everyone", Vijayan said and urged the people to move forward together to the end the social inequalities and for an India of freedom, brotherhood and equality.
