Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan flays Congress for its ‘silence’ on BJP’s RSS agenda

The Hindu  

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has launched a scathing attack on the Congress, accusing it of remaining “silent on the implementation of RSS agenda by the BJP.” Speaking at a public meeting held as part of Lok Sabha 2024 election campaign at Mattanur in Kannur on April 22, Mr. Vijayan said that while claiming to be a secular party, the Congress failed to oppose the BJP’s actions aligned with the RSS ideology. Mr. Vijayan highlighted Kerala’s “firm stance” against the Citizenship Amendment Act, saying that the State promptly announced its refusal to implement the amendment. He criticised the “lack of vocal opposition” from the Congress on crucial national issues over the past five years, particularly pointing out the “absence of the UDF’s 18-member MP team” in addressing significant concerns. Mr. Vijayan highlighted reports suggesting the inclusion of the CAA in the Congress manifesto, only for it to be dropped later due to “concerns about increasing the manifesto’s length.” The Chief Minister also questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s commitment to Kerala’s development, saying there was “a lack of assistance” from the Centre during the State’s devastating floods.
