KANNUR: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday mentioned the state has at all times opposed communalism of any type because it poses a risk to the society and BJP will be unable to propagate its agenda within the state. Taking on the BJP-led authorities on the Centre, Vijayan claimed that it was silencing the voice of the opposition in Parliament.
The veteran Left chief was talking on the A Okay G memorial programme at Perallassery close to right here. In an obvious reference to Thalassery Archbishop Mar Joseph Pamplany, who made a press release lately that his group may also help the BJP if that social gathering addresses the considerations of farmers, Vijayan mentioned such “opportunists” don’t symbolize the individuals of Kerala.
“The sangh parivar and its leaders should understand that the opinion of certain opportunists do not represent the mindset of people of Kerala. Kerala has always adopted a strong stand against communalism. Be it minority or the majority. Both pose a danger to society. So, Kerala is not a place where BJP can easily propagate their agenda,” Vijayan mentioned.
He mentioned within the 2016 Assembly election, BJP secured one seat for the primary time within the historical past of the state with the assistance of Congress.
“BJP has played all sorts of games since its Jan Sangh period to win a seat in the Assembly. Finally, they got one in 2016. We all now know how they got it. Congress lost all its votes in that particular constituency and helped BJP defeat the Left candidate,” Vijayan mentioned.
The CM additional mentioned that his social gathering has publicly introduced that BJP’s account shall be closed within the state in 2021 election and it occurred.
Recalling that there was a time when Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru used to hearken to communist chief A Okay Gopalan, who was the primary Leader of Opposition within the Lok Sabha, Vijayan mentioned, “However, these days, the BJP is trying to suppress the voice of opposition in the Parliament.”
