Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Saturday slammed the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) for inciting its workers to unleash violence against the Navakerala Sadas.
Addressing Navakerala Sadas programmes in the Kovalam, Nemom and Kazhakuttam Assembly constituencies, Mr. Vijayan said the people of Kerala had categorically rejected the UDF’s opposition to the event by turning out in large numbers at the venues.
The Chief Minister’s remarks came in the wake of the violence and clashes with the police marking the Opposition protests. The Congress’s decision not to cooperate with the Navakerala Sadas was intended to please the BJP, Mr. Vijayan said.
