Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan has said that the United Democratic Front (UDF) remains steadfast in its fight against communalism and fascism.
He was inaugurating the election convention of Hibi Eden, the UDF candidate for the Ernakulam Lok Sabha constituency, here on March 14 (Thursday). Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s oft-repeated “guarantees”, Mr. Satheesan sought to know what happened to Modi’s guarantees that he had given a decade ago when he first came to power. It has proven beyond doubt that Modi’s word holds no value, he said.
Mr. Satheesan dubbed Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan as the Kerala version of fascism. Welfare pensions remain unpaid over the last seven months. More than a crore beneficiaries are in crisis for want of pension and medicines.
