Kasaragod : The People’s Resistance Rally (Janakeya Prathirodha Jatha) against Centre’s wrong policies wold be armour for State Govt, said CPI(M) State Secretary MV Govindan, who is also the Jatha Captain and was addressing a press conference on sidelines of the rally in Kasaragod.
The Congress is unwilling to resist BJP on wide scale. Owing to its own mild Hindutva stance, Congress is unable to openly oppose BJP’s communalism. With regard perspectives on corporates and economic policies, there is no difference between Congress and BJP.
Does Congress in Kerala share its national leadership stance that the Central investigation agencies are being misused for revenge politics. Sonia Gandhi had voiced this view openly. ED raids homes of Congress leaders while the party plenary session was being held in Chhattisgarh. Congress’s national leaders call this political revenge. The Congress leaders in Kerala however, do not grasp this. KPCC remains devoted to BJP.
Jamaat-e-Islami leader says CPI-M is spreading Islamophobia. What needs to be known is what actually transpired in talks between the two communal groups- the RSS and Jamaat-e-Islami. Christian minorities around the country are being persecuted. A large protest was held in Delhi by over 80 organizations. They protested about beng hunted down in the country's 21 states. The good thing about Kerala is it does not feature in that list.
On what basis does Congress general secretary KC Venugopal state there is no difference between Modi and Pinarayi? The problem is not having the right perspective. The state government carries out welfare activities upholding alternative people-oriented policies. The govt has managed to bring in greater investments into the State. The govt goes ahead by providng social welfare pensions. That all these upsets Congress and BJP is not our lookout.
Congress’s criticism that the rally should be done on foot rather than vehicle, is rather empty. In January, CPI(M) workers visited every house and explained issues in extensive programmes. The Janakeeya Prathirodha Jatha comes in the wake of those exercises, said MV Govindan, adding that there is huge public participation for the statewide rally. Also present at the press conference wee : CS Sujatha, M Swaraj, KT Jaleel, Jake C Thomas and manager PK Biju.
