They want development, progress & jobs. They want tourism to grow. Kerala is poised for change, they deserve change,” Goyal said during a roadshow in Kochi. Remarking on the state of railway projects in Kerala, Goyal said Centre is keen on implementing the Sabarimala rail connectivity project, but the speed of other projects made him wonder whether the state government will ever allow Sabarimala to be connected through railways. Kerala will go to polls on April 06 with counting of votes scheduled for May 02.
