Congress cannot be trusted, their leaders can anytime join BJP: Kerala minister P Rajeeve

New Indian Express  

Despite being allies at the national level, the CPI, which heads the Left Democratic Front government in Kerala, and the Congress party, like two sides of a same coin, does not see eye to eye. In a column in the CPI mouthpiece Deshabhimani on Saturday, Kerala Law Minister P Rajeeve argues only Left parties can be trusted, more than any in India, when it comes to fighting the BJP. For instance, he adds, when the Citizenship Amendment Act was passed, it was the LDF government in Kerala that first announced that they would not implement it. CPI General Secretary Sitaram Yechury was the first to head to Kashmir when when Article 370 was abrogated and the people's representatives were put under house arrest.
