Kerala’s Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan has accused Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan of living in perpetual fear of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that Mr. Vijayan was “looking for ways to appease the BJP.”
Addressing a press conference in Kochi on April 20 (Saturday), Mr. Satheesan said the Chief Minister’s criticism of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi “in far worse manner than how the BJP did was part of this ploy.”
“The Chief Minister and the CPI (M) have declared Mr. Gandhi as their principal opponent,” he said, adding that the Chief Minister was exploring ways to avoid criticising Mr. Modi.
