After Victory in Kerala, CM Pinarayi Vijayan Says 'Fight Against Coronavirus Will Continue'
News 18Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s statement that the Bharatiya Janata Party, which had won one seat in Kerala in the 2016 Assembly polls, would see its account getting closed this time, has come true with the Centre’s ruling party failing to secure any victory despite fighting hard in three constituencies. In an address post victory, state CM Vijayan said to the party workers, “This is not the time to celebrate our huge win. Our fight against COVID will continue.” Meanwhile, CPI-M leader Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said on the party’s victory, “People’s mandate proves that they are happy with the pro-people policies of LDF government. People here have defeated communal forces.” A total of 31,950 new Covid-19 cases were reported in Kerala on Sunday.
