Terming the Congress “the most ideologically confused party”, Communist Party of India [CPI(M)] Polit Bureau member Brinda Karat has said that a vote for its candidate may not help in the fight against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
She was opening an event organised by pro-Left women’s organisations in support of K.K. Shailaja, Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate for the Vadakara Lok Sabha constituency, on Monday evening. A large number of women took out a rally seeking votes for Ms. Shailaja ahead of the event.
Questioning Rahul Gandhi’s decision to seek a re-election from Wayanad, she wondered why wasn’t he contesting the election from Uttar Pradesh (UP) if the intention was to fight the BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
