Alappuzha : Women are increasingly quitting Congress owing to the party’s anti-women attitude, said Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan adding that, . women of dignity cannot remain there. Yesterday, a senior leader ,Rosakutty, exited the party and . Mahila Congress president Latika Subhash shaved her head in protest the other day before leaving Congress, said CM, speaking at a press conference during election campaign in Alappuzha.
On the other hand, LDF endeavours to make Kerala a woman-friendly state..This government enjoys enormous support from the women community. More funds are being released to Kudumbasree for expanding the smart kitchen scheme. Rs 20,000 crores will be made available to Kudumbasree for buying kitchen appliances that will go a long way to lighten women's work at home.
Our state has been able to mitigate Covid on a very big scale. We have been able to contain the spread effectively and keep the death-rate low. First-line treatment centres and community kitchens were put to use effectively. Mechanisms were put in place to track infected individuals. All these were carried out with huge cooperation from public, the reason why Kerala became a striking outlier in containing the pandemic. Some foreign news media reported the feat, with world eventually acknowledging the achievement.
Absence of BJP candidates in two constituencies is indicative of turning over votes in the region. A nomination paper is prepared meticulously leaving no room for lapses as claimed.
LDF is opposed to communal politics. Religious politics and religious faith are two different things. LDF leadership seeks to protect all religious faiths. RSS doings are making minorities feel insecure. And Jamaat-e-Islami and SDPI are looking to exploit that situation.
As election draws near, LDF continues to draw greater support. However there could be unexpected turmoil propped up during the last days. One must approach them with caution. The rape stories from Nadapuram and compass-etching tales serve as reminders. Also, shortly before by-election in Chengannur, there was much propaganda that DYFI workers had killed the youth named Kevin. They have no qualms about weaving any kind of story. Hence one should be considerably alert.
There is no organised move behind issuance of multiple ID cards. Following the outcry, it was found it is pro-Congress voters who ended up appearing in more than one voter list. While there is no similar accusation against any other party, the Election Commission is looking into other aspects of it, said CM.
