Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

The CPI(M) Disapproves the Statements of Shri Rahul Gandhi

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly disapproves the provocative
statements made by Shri Rahul Gandhi and Shri Mallikarjun Kharge against the
Chief Minister of Kerala and the secular credentials of the CPI(M). Such
canards are being spread by them to secure cheap electoral gains in the
Assembly elections. By targeting the CPI(M) instead of the BJP, the Congress
leaders are reneging on their claim of fighting communal-authoritarian
forces. The people of Kerala will see through this sinister agenda.

 

The Congress leaders must introspect as to why, in state after state, their
leaders have deserted the party and joined the BJP. It is a well-known fact
that the present BJP Chief Minister of Assam held important portfolios in
the earlier Congress government. In Tripura, the entire Congress leadership
joined the BJP in 2018 in order to defeat the Left Front. Many ministers in
the Union government and Members of Parliament belonging to the BJP were
earlier prominent leaders in the Congress. The Congress became a feeder
organisation for the BJP.

 

During the ten years of the current LDF government, there has not been a
single communal riot in Kerala, while the worst communal riot in Marad, in
the state took place under the UDF government. Even in these elections, the
Congress is allying with minority fundamentalist forces. The
Congress-League-BJP nexus has been exposed in various elections in Kerala,
including the recently concluded local body elections.

 

The CPI(M) has consistently opposed the misuse of central agencies against
opposition leaders, while Shri Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Oppostion is
calling for the arrest of an opposition Chief Minister by invoking the ED
and other central agencies. It should not be forgotten that the Congress had
similarly called for the arrest of Shri Arvind Kejriwal, former Chief
Minister of Delhi. This exposes their opportunistic stance.

 

The people of Kerala, who have witnessed unprecedented development and
communal harmony over the past ten years under LDF rule, will deliver a
fitting rebuff to both the Congress-led UDF and the BJP-led NDA.
