The charged political atmosphere of Puthuppally, which is witnessing an acrimonious election battle between the Left Democratic Front and the United Democratic Front, continues to boil over with the Congress now coming up with a point-by-point rebuttal to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
Taking a swipe at the Chief Minister, Congress Working Committee member K. C. Venugopal observed that Mr.Vijayan had indeed been presiding over an ideological shift within the CPI(M) by redesigning its development agenda in favour of the rich and the powerful.
“The projects rolled out by the LDF such as K-fon, K-Rail, AI camera etc are all intended for the bourgeoisie capitalists. On the other hand, it silently yet promptly sidelined several of the social security programmes for the common man,” he said.
