THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Lashing out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'match-fixing' allegation, CPM state secretary A Vijayaraghavan on Tuesday said that Modi's followers are the ones who are involved in vote-trading. Vijayaraghavan said that the O Rajagopal was able to win from Nemom in 2016 with the help of Congress.

"The BJP is in active talks with the Congress over vote-trading. The Prime Minister should have clarified how Rajagopal won in the last assembly election," he said. Vijayaraghavan also said that the value of the words of the Prime Minister is lost when he speaks by hiding the truth.
