Stepping aside the barrage of allegations raised against him by the United Democratic Front, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan here on Thursday launched a counter-attack on the Congress-led coalition by accusing it of playing into the hands of the Sangh Parivar.
Addressing an election campaign meeting in Puthuppally on Wednesday, Mr. Vijayan tapped into the into the developments at Kidangoor, a neighbourhood local body where the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) joined hands with the UDF to oust the Left Democratic Front from power, to launch a full-scale political offensive. With an eye on the Christian-majority electorate at Puthuppally, he also touched upon the raging violence in Manipur.
“Kidangoor is a name that represents the political stance of the UDF and how they diluted the values of secularism for political gains,” said Mr. Vijayan, at Ayarkunnam on Thursday evening.
