If last time was Nemom, now Congress has decided to give more seats to BJP, chief minister raises strong allegations

pinarayi-

KANNUR: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said that there exists a secret understanding between Congress and BJP. “If last time was Nemom, then this time they have entered into a secret understanding to exchange more seats,” he said in a press conference held at Kannur.

“Even though Rahul Gandhi is an important leader of Congress, he has no idea what is going on in the ground. His party, League and BJP are trying to create an alliance in Kerala. As part of it, though one seat was given to BJP last time, they have agreed to each other to exchange more seats this time,” Pinarayi said.

“People know that if LDF makes a promise then it will be implemented. It is a faith which they have got through their experience,” he added. The chief minister who said that in terms of debt Congress-ruled states stands ahead of others pointed out the examples of Punjab and Rajasthan.

“The chief minister also mocked that the opposition leader considers reading out allegations as his only duty. When the day starts, he reads our certain allegations in the morning. When he gets an answer to it, he reads out some other allegations. The opposition leader thinks that it is the first and foremost function of the opposition,” Pinarayi Vijayan said.

When asked about the captain controversy the chief minister said, “Media is currently witch-hunting P Jayarajan. LDF’s support to people is increasing day by day. As part of it, a kind of uneasiness has plagued those who are opposing us,” he said.

“Whenever we go somewhere even small children are showing their love and affection towards us. All these are ongoing things. All this shows that people are showing special interest in LDF. A homemaker has sent me a song written by her. Communists don’t get lured by individual worship. Everything said by Jayarajan should be understood clearly. When we go as part of a programme, people will show their enthusiasm,” Pinaryi added.

“If after seeing the people’s love and affection, I think that it all happened because of me, then my head weight might increase and later it will become a problem. Such things never happen to communists. If that happens, then the party will correct it. There is no need to hide such things. In my experience, I have seen such instances of showing affection and it has never changed my personality and manner of functioning. I will always maintain the vigil, which should be maintained by a communist,” Pinarayi said.

“Kodiyeri also said that the party is the captain and that is right. When somebody thinks that he/she is above the party it will be corrected. Jayarajan has not said anything against the party. He has defended the party in a good manner and there is nothing wrong with it,” he added.
