‘CPM, BJP leaders have lost their mental balance’

PALAKKAD: The CPM and BJP leaders’ blatant political attack on the Congress and UDF shows that they have lost their mental balance due to the increasing support we are getting after the candidature of Congress president Rahul Gandhi in Wayanad, said KPCC president Mullappally Ramachandran. He was talking to reporters after a review meeting of the UDF election campaign in Palakkad Lok Sabha constituency on Monday.


He said that chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan and the CPM leaders unleashed attack on Congress because they fear defeat. “They are in confusion in opposing the Congress, which is engaged in a bitter fight at the all-India level to oust the Modiled BJP government and to form a secular-democratic government at the Centre,” the KPCC chief said.

He said that the Congress wanted the CPM and the Left parties to be part of the secular democratic front against the BJP at the national level but four politburo members of CPM from Kerala opposed the alliance.

“The Congress is not for the destruction of the CPM and the Left parties in Indian politics though we wanted to destroy the BJP because of its communal politics. We will continue to fight the wrong policies of the CPM and LDF,” Ramachandran said.
