Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] district secretary M.V. Jayarajan on Monday said that the car used by party general secretary Sitaram Yechury was taken for rent from a travel agency during the 23rd Party Congress and the allegations raised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were baseless.
He was responding to the allegations raised by BJP district president N. Haridas that that the vehicle used by Mr. Yechury during the Party Congress belonged to Siddique, a resident of Chundayil in Kozhikode, accused in several criminal cases, including assaulting of an Army jawan.
