Thiruvananthapuram:
Kerala’s chief minister, Pinarayi Vijayan, lashed out Thursday at the leader of Congress and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi, as well as Uttar Pradesh’s chief minister, Yogi Adityanath, days after they both attacked the left-wing government in Kerala. during their respective campaigns in the state.
“Wayay and MP Rahul Gandhi and CM Yogi Adityanath from Uttar Pradesh may have different perspectives on Kerala but have the same feelings against the left. They are united in that,” said Pinarayi Vijayan.
“Rahul Gandhi came to Kerala and made some unusual interventions. He drove a tractor for farmers, swam for fishermen in the sea, ignoring protests in other parts of India … Anyway, Rahul Gandhi’s generosity is from thank “, added the Chief Minister.
Attacking Congress for its anti-farmer policies since the 1990s, claiming it “drove farmers to suicide in India,” Pinarayi Vijayan said that Rahul Gandhi should apologize to farmers.
“The blood of hundreds of thousands of farmers who died is on Congress … Rahul Gandhi must unconditionally apologize to the farmers on behalf of Congress,” added the Chief Minister.
Rahul Gandhi had led a tractor rally in his Wayanad parliamentary constituency on Monday and addressed a farmers’ meeting after that. Later, in Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday, Rahul Gandhi had criticized the left-wing government on various issues, citing “lack of jobs for young people” and “destruction of fishermen’s livelihoods”, among other issues.
“Young people in Kerala are wondering why they can’t get a job. It’s a dynamic state with bright young people. The left front government said they will make Kerala perfect. My question is: perfect for whom? Perfect for people from Kerala or your own. Party? If you are one of them, carry their flag, every job is for them, “Rahul Gandhi had said, referring to groups of rank holders protesting outside the secretariat.
Pinarayi Vijayan during his press conference also attacked Yogi Adityanath, who had opened the BJP state rally currently taking place in Kerala. “Yogi Adityanath said that Kerala is behind in everything. He said that young people go abroad because they do not have work here. 15 percent of migrant workers in Kerala are from Uttar Pradesh and receive insurance and other benefits. Uttar Pradesh CM said that the Kerala government is trying to make people fight each other. In these five years, Kerala has not seen any community violence. But what is the situation in Uttar Pradesh? We have seen it. Crimes against women are the highest in Uttar Pradesh, “said Mr. Vijayan.
“The population of Kerala is 3.5 crore. Covid tests of 1.10 crore have been performed in Kerala. But for Uttar Pradesh, a state with 6 times more population than Kerala, Covid tests have crossed only 3 crore. Kerala’s test per million is twice that of Uttar Pradesh. Kerala is an example for the country when it comes to limiting deaths, “added Pinarayi Vijayan.
