KANNUR: Congress leader and MP K Sudhakaran racially abused Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. K Sudhakaran's derogatory remark was that a helicopter was bought for a member of a tapper's family and CM Pinarayi Vijayan is the first person to do so. Sudhakaran spoke on the stage of UDF's 'Aishwarya Kerala Yatra' in Thalassery. Sudhakaran had also recently spoken ill of Pushpan, a living martyr in the Koothuparamba shooting.

'What is Pinarayi's family? It's the family of a tapper. Where is Pinarayi Vijayan, who took the revolutionary flame of the working class from the family of a tapper and led you from the front holding the red flag? When Pinarayi Vijayan became the Chief Minister, he who came from the family of a tapper would be the first CM of Kerala to buy a helicopter to travel'- Sudhakaran said.
