THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: BJP candidate Sandeep Vachaspati's act of paying floral tributes at the famous Punnapra Vayalar Smriti memorial in Alappuzha had stirred a controversy. Finance Minister Thomas Isaac has come up slamming BJP over the incident. Taking it to Facebook, Thomas Isaac said that those traitors who betrayed the freedom struggle by licking the shoes of the British and serving them will never understand the value and glory of martyrdom.

'The state has recognised the conscious attempt to disrupt law and order during the election. Everyone should be aware that those who have committed such a heinous crime will not hesitate to do anything. We should also see that the BJP leadership has not yet come forward to condemn or deny such heinous acts. It is clear that the conspiracy took place at a high level,' Isaac wrote on his Facebook page.
