Palakkad (Kerala): Stealing a march over his political rivals, 93-year old CPI(M) veteran VS Achuthanandan today launched the LDF campaign for the May 16 Assembly polls in Kerala with a blistering attack on Congress-led ruling UDF and BJP-BDJS.
The Opposition leader addressed a massive Left Democratic Front (LDF) convention at Malampuzha in the district, from where he is seeking re-election for the third time.
Attacking the Oommen Chandy-led UDF government, he alleged that the number of cases against the Chief Minister and other ministers pending in Lokayukta "itself was a proof of deep corruption" in the government.
Targeting the BJP-led NDA, Mr Achuthanandan accused the saffron party of trying to create communal divide in the state.
He alleged that SNDP General Secretary Vellapally Natesan had joined hands with BJP to save himself in the case. "I have filed a case against Natesan at the Vigilance Court, Thiruvananthapuram," he said.
