THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Left on Tuesday mounted attack on Chief Minister Oommen Chandy accusing him of creating Congress-BJP nexus in the state for the forthcoming Assembly polls. The Left led by Opposition Leader V S Achuthanandan accused Chandy of laying a fertile ground for the growth of BJP-RSS in the state with the help of BDJS.
The veteran leader said Chandy was working like a “Sangh Parivar pracharak” and he had now created a middleman like Vellapally Natesan to help the BJP.
“We saw the test dose in Aruvikkara by poll last year. Chandy is trying to repeat the same experiment across the state in the forthcoming polls. The middle man, Vellapally, has already announced publicly that it would be good for BJP if UDF came to power,” he added.
Achuthanandan said Oommen Chandy was running around like an oracle and blurting out something against BJP. "But whom are you trying to fool? People are watching your antics gleefully. In short you are acting like a black magician, trying to set off BJP ghost in the state. But people are the real magicians and they will shoo away the BJP,” the opposition leader said.
The Left leaders also slammed the chief minister for his delayed response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement that the condition of children in tribal areas was worse than Somalia. They said it was strange that Chandy woke up more than 48 hours after the prime minister made the statement.
Meanwhile, Achuthanandan alleged that the Congress had become a recruiting agency of the BJP. Many top leaders of the Congress including chief ministers, union ministers, MLAs are now with the BJP.
Achuthanandan listed the names of leaders including former chief ministers Gegong Apang, Vijay Bahuguna, Jagadambika Pal, Giridhar Gamang, deputy chief minister of Gujarat Narhari Amin, former union ministers op leaders like Rao Inderjit Singh, Birender Singh, Najma Hepatullah and MP Purandeshwari who left the Congress and crossed over to the BJP fold.
