Incumbent MP M.K. Raghavan came down on the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M] over its election campaign projecting itself as “a mighty force against fascism represented by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at the Centre”.
“The CPI(M) is a party that refused to be part of the INDIA alliance, which is the only defence against fascism at present. The Congress is undoubtedly the greatest champion against fascism in the country. Nobody questions Modi the way Rahul Gandhi does,” Mr. Raghavan said here after announcing the ‘Janahridaya Yatra’ heralding his campaign in the Kozhikode Lok Sabha constituency.
While accusing the NDA of showing a ‘step-motherly attitude’ to non-BJP ruled States, he said the UPA government had brought in numerous projects that benefited Kozhikode, while the Modi government has made its projects sound great through mere marketing strategy.
