THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Election Commission has issued a warning to Minister Kadakampally Surendran for his recent comments. He had said that those who receive welfare pensions should vote for LDF, else they will face God’s wrath. Chief Election Officer Teeka Ram Meena warned the minister not to repeat such comments in the future or else he’ll have to face strong actions.

The minister’s controversial speech:

“Pinarayi Vijayan raised welfare pensions from Rs 600 to Rs 1200. You should ask your family to vote for LDF. If not, you will definitely face the wrath of God. Someone is watching our deeds from above”
