It is learnt that Thiruvathira training has been going on in each local committee ahead of the party conference. The theme of the programme was the achievements of the state government. Though only 150 people are allowed in public events in the state, a huge number of people attended the event held in connection with the district conference of the ruling party. It was just few days back, when the state government issued an order stating that only 50 people should be allowed to attend funerals, weddings and other events.
