Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan hit out at the Congress on Saturday, asking how anyone can be certain that someone who is in the Congress today will remain so tomorrow.
Inaugurating the LDF convention in the Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha constituency where the LDF has fielded CPI leader Pannian Raveendran, Mr. Vijayan listed out instances where prominent names in the Congress had shifted allegiance to the BJP in several States. Mr. Vijayan’s attack on the Congress also came on the heels of Padmaja Venugopal, Congress leader and daughter of former Chief Minister K. Karunakaran, joining the BJP.
Across India, presidents of Congress State units, former Union Ministers, and AICC office-bearers were today in the BJP, he noted.
