PALAKKAD: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has slammed the central and state governments. According to Rahul, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan was trying to start a car without fuel despite the collapse of the economy and said that he should check whether there was fuel before turning the key. The Congress leader made the statement while addressing the crowd during a roadshow from Palakkad to Thrithala.

"He is trying to drive a car without fuel. The state's economy is in shambles. Before turning on the keys to a vehicle, one should make sure it has fuel in it," Rahul Gandhi said.

"If the UDF comes to power, it will introduce the NYAY scheme to provide Rs 6000 per month to those who are suffering without any income," he added.
