THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Congress leader K. Muraleedharan has said that Union ministers George Kurian and Suresh Gopi have become the curse of Kerala. He said that both ministers are of no use to Kerala. 'I don't understand what is meant by a high-caste person. What Suresh Gopi said is a matter that the society should seriously discuss', said Muraleedharan. He was speaking at a press conference in Thiruvananthapuram.

K. Muraleedharan's criticism was on Union Minister of State Suresh Gopi's remark that a high-caste person should be allowed to take charge of the Ministry of Tribal Affairs. He also said that a person from the tribal community should be made the minister for the welfare of the forward communities, but he withdrew the statement after the first statement faced backlash. Suresh Gopi's controversial remark was made while addressing Malayali voters during the BJP election campaign held in Mayur Vihar, Delhi, on Sunday.

Meanwhile, K. Muraleedharan also responded to the Thrissur election defeat. 'I have not complained about the Thrissur election defeat. My mistake was that I contested in Thrissur without understanding the facts. There is no one to blame. That is why I did not demand an investigation. Moreover, the party has not taken action on any report for a long time. I have not seen the report, and I do not need to know what is in that report,' said Muraleedharan.

The lost seat should be regained in the next Lok Sabha elections. The seat can only be regained if TN Prathapan contests. That is my personal opinion,' said K. Muraleedharan.
