THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday alleged that the BJP and the Congress want to see the Left Democratic Front collapse and that they have reached the mentality of destroying Kerala itself. He was speaking at a press conference after the COVID review meeting.

According to the CM, the opposition leaders are traders of controversy and they want everything to perish. They are now trying to become the executioner of KIIFB, he said. The CM also alleged that Congress leaders were flocking to the BJP. "The UDF will collapse if the Left continues to rule. The Jamaat-e-Islami and the Muslim League are campaigning among the minorities that all the Congress leaders will join the BJP if the UDF collapses. However, Rahul Gandhi himself has corrected that the leaders would go to the BJP if the Congress wins and not loses," the CM said.
