AICC General Secretary K.C. Venugopal criticized the Kerala government, alleging that only those involved in violence and looting for the CPI-M receive benefits. He expressed concern over police officers facing attacks while the government shields DYFI activists who assaulted an officer. Venugopal stated that this situation undermines the morale of the police force and hampers impartial law enforcement.
Venugopal claimed that individuals committing political murders for the CPI-M are treated as a privileged group in prison. He accused the Vijayan government of neglecting the rule of law and leading the state towards chaos. The current administration’s actions have reportedly disappointed Left-leaning individuals, making it challenging for them to align with the Left ideology.
Addressing the agrarian crisis, Venugopal highlighted a farmer’s suicide allegedly due to delayed government payments. He described the distressing conditions faced by farmers in Kerala, emphasizing the hardships revealed during his interactions with paddy farmers in Palakkad. Venugopal criticized the Pinarayi government for reducing farmer benefits, including central subsidies, and mentioned the discontinuation of the additional state bonus, which he believes worsens the financial plight of indebted farmers.
