Kerala’s Education and Labour Minister V. Sivankutty criticized the Congress, claiming it has embraced “saffronisation” at both national and state levels, functioning as a recruitment agency for the RSS. He warned the media against supporting what he termed an “unholy Congress-BJP alliance.”
Sivankutty accused the Congress of maintaining silence and compliance amid challenges to Indian democracy, drawing parallels to past instances like the Babri Masjid demolition. He highlighted Congress leaders praising the RSS, signaling what he described as the party’s ideological shift.
In Kerala, Sivankutty alleged that the Congress-BJP nexus was moving beyond rhetoric to practical actions, citing instances of alleged vote trading in the Mattathur grama panchayat election. Despite this, the LDF emerged as the largest party in Mattathur, countering what he labeled a communal alliance.
The Minister also mentioned claims of covert vote transfers benefiting the BJP in Thrissur, allegedly orchestrated by Congress leaders. He criticized Congress figures for supporting BJP demands, including calls for a CPI(M) MLA to vacate office, and denounced the narrative labeling Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan as an “agent of the Prime Minister.”
