CPI Criticizes Central Government Over BrahMos Unit in Kerala
Imagine a factory that makes missiles.
The government gave land to build one in Kerala in 2007, hoping it would help the country.
They started a small part of the factory in 2008.
But not much has been built there.
The company planned to build the factory quickly, and the government promised to invest a lot of money.
But instead, they built bigger factories elsewhere.
Now, the people in Kerala are unhappy because they think the government is ignoring their factory.
They want the government to help make the factory bigger and better.
