The CPI(M) has accused the Congress in Kerala of crying wolf by claiming it had no money to fund its Lok Sabha election campaign.
On Wednesday, CPI(M) State Secretary M.V. Govindan appeared to scoff at Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan’s assertion that the Congress’s election war chest was bone dry and that the party could ill-afford to buy a “glass of lime juice” for workers braving the heat to meet voters.
Mr. Govindan said Mr Satheesan’s contention that the Congress’s cash woes stem from the Income Tax department’s contentious decision to block the party from accessing its bank accounts for belatedly filing the 2017-18 tax returns was laughable.
