PALAKKD: The Congress and the BJP are jointly working together to destroy the LDF, said Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. They have joined hands to eliminate us and are fabricating false allegations against the government, alleged Pinarayi.

E Sreedharan was an expert in the engineering field and if any expert becomes a BJP, he will show the character of that party, criticised the chief minister. The chief minister said that he may have reached a stage where he would say anything as part of it. Will wait till the elections are over to reply to him, he said.

Pinarayi said election promises are not mere promises and in five years the LDF was able to convince the people that it should be executed. The progress report on how many of the things mentioned in the election manifesto could be implemented each year was released. This continued for four years and this is the fifth year. Of the 600 things mentioned in the manifesto, 570 were completed. This was possible in the midst of the natural calamities and the ongoing deadly pandemic, he said.

Pinarayi said that he does not know the motive behind M T Ramesh's claim that the chief minsiter was the election agent of BJP leader K G Marar. Pinarayi said he was the candidate in Koothuparamba in the elections after emergency. Pinarayi then asked how he could become someone else' election agent. The chief minister said the present situation of many is that they can say anything.

No confusion in Sabarimala. Correcting the affidavit can be considered when the case is taken up. There are no problems in Sabarimala now. Let's wait for the final verdict. If there is a problem in the final verdict then it can be discussed with everyone, added Pinarayi.
