Kanam accuses Congress of double standards

Communist Party of India (CPI) State secretary Kanam Rajendran has accused the Congress of adopting double standards towards the Union government’s move to ‘destabilise non-BJP governments in States using Central agencies.’

Opening the delegates’ meet in connection with the CPI district conference at Nedumangad here on Saturday, he said the Congress had raised the issue in the Assembly when Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi were grilled by the Enforcement Directorate in the National Herald case. “But when Central agencies like the ED, CBI, NIA and Customs are used to destabilise the LDF government in Kerala, they remain mum. For them, the ED is bad in Delhi but good in Kerala. This exposes their double standards”. He added that the Congress and BJP were working as one against the LDF government.
