Kerala’s political battleground has heated up as CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat launched a scathing attack on the Congress, accusing it of aligning with the BJP and RSS to destabilize the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) government. She criticized the Congress for mirroring the tactics of the BJP-RSS combine, remarking that while the BJP and RSS make statements in the morning, the Congress echoes them by evening. Karat expressed disappointment over a party that claims to oppose Prime Minister Narendra Modi allegedly engaging in divisive politics in Kerala, which she described as an oasis of communal harmony and progressive governance.
Her remarks come at a time of heightened political tensions in Kerala, where Congress and CPI(M) remain fierce rivals despite their national-level alliance under the INDIA bloc to counter the BJP. Karat’s statements highlight the complex and often contradictory nature of political alliances in India, where national and regional interests frequently clash.
Meanwhile, Congress leaders hit back, accusing CPI(M) supporters and the police of attacking their workers, further escalating the political friction in the state. With both parties locked in a battle of accusations, Kerala’s political landscape remains as dynamic and unpredictable as ever.
