Rahul questions BJP’s ‘selective targeting’, asks why no action taken against Pinarayi

The Hindu  

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has expressed astonishment at the Bharatiya Janata Party and Central agencies for allegedly targeting him while ignoring “serious allegations” against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. Speaking at a public meeting organised by the United Democratic Front in Kannur as part of Lok Sabha election campaign on April 18, Mr. Gandhi recounted his own experiences of facing backlash for opposing the BJP, including “being subjected to media abuse, losing his Lok Sabha membership, enduring 55 hours of interrogation by the ED, and being evicted from his official residence.” Mr. Gandhi asked why Mr. Vijayan has not faced similar consequences despite corruption allegations and other issues. Mr. Gandhi suggested that while he has been vigorously opposing the BJP, Mr. Vijayan seems to be “untouched” by Central agencies, despite his claims of fighting an ideological battle against the ruling party. Mr. Gandhi reiterated the Congress’s commitment to diversity and outlined the party’s plans, including financial support for impoverished women, job creation, and legislative measures to ensure employment opportunities for graduates.
