Speaking to mediapersons at the government guest house here, he said performance of the government was evaluated by the people and the CPI(M)-led LDF government in the state had been functioning for the welfare of the people.

Majority of the welfare steps taken by the government was a model for the country and as a result the government, LDF and the party was getting their support, he claimed.

Replying to a query whether a letter purportedly written by former Politburo member E Balanandan on the SNC Lavalin contract case was discussed in the politburo meeting yesterday, he said "how can there be a discussion on a non-existing letter."

A magazine run by CPI-M rebels had recently carried a 'letter' purportedly written by Balanandan in 1990s, expressing serious reservation on the decision to award the contract for renovation of three hydro electric projects in the state to the Canadian firm, by the then LDF government in which Vijayan was the Electricity minister.
