KOTTAYAM: CPM state committee member in Kerala K Anilkumar has set the tone for the LDF campaign in the Puthuppally bypoll through a Facebook post on Friday in which he has raised the issues pertaining to former chief minister Oommen Chandy's medical treatment and allegations of projecting the departed leader as a 'saint' by the Congress.
Addressing opposition leader V D Satheesan in the FB post, Anilkumar reminded him about the intervention made by the state government to ensure treatment for Chandy. Taking a dig at Satheesan, Anilkumar wrote sarcastically that the people of the state had witnessed the "love" of Satheesan towards Chandy. Satheesan too is responsible for creating a situation leading to the intervention of the government to ensure Chandy’s treatment, said Anilkumar.
Anilkumar also warned Satheesan not to make Puthuppally an Ayodhya by dragging places of worship into the elections which he says will only help the BJP.
