Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan led a protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar over the delayed GST compensation and the Centre's alleged discrimination in funds allocation to Kerala, which prompted states to approach the Supreme Court. The Left Democratic Front (LDF) and other opposition parties, including the DMK, accused the central government of undermining the federal structure and unequal devolution of taxes to southern states. Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann supported the protest. Kejriwal criticized the use of the Enforcement Directorate as a political weapon. CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat highlighted the protest's significance, stating the Kerala government had to provide evidence of discrimination in various sectors. Protests were also held in Tamil Nadu by CPI-M, DMK, and other parties with similar allegations. Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar dismissed the protests as political drama ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, and Union Minister V Muraleedharan warned against creating division and a feeling of segregation. The INDI alliance was implied to be involved in coordinating these protests.
