Cpm Kerala Campaign

The Congress in Kerala has hit out at the ruling CPM following a former Left-backed Parliamentarian's "deplorable" comment against Rahul Gandhi during the election campaign a few days ago. The remarks came from Joyce George, former independent MP of Idukki, at a rally for the communist candidate and sitting minister MM Mani.

As the campaign for the Kerala assembly poll entered its crucial phase, the BJP and CPI(M) today raked up the issue of Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) with the BJP pledging to fulfill its promises and the Left declaring that the controversial law will not be implemented in the state.

KK Shailaja, Kerala's Health Minister, starts her day by meeting visitors at her home in Kannur's Mattannur, now her constituency for the April 6 election. Mattannur is a CPI(M) stronghold where state minister EP Jayrajan won with a margin of around 40,000 votes in the last election.

Kerala's ruling CPM's Saji Cheriyan has won the Chengannur Assembly by-election by a huge margin that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has projected as a referendum on the Left Democratic Front's two years in power.

Pinarayi Vijayan, the Kerala Chief Minister who has faced umpteen attacks from the BJP this week trying to make inroads into the state, has given it back to its star campaigner, Yogi Adityanath.

Chief Minister Oommen Chandy today said he has no qualms in campaigning in West Bengal in support of candidates of CPI(M), who are poll rivals in Kerala, in the wake of its tie-up with the Congress in the Bengal.

Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) president Kanhaiya Kumar, who walked out of Tihar on bail last week where he was lodged in a sedition case, today indicated that he is unlikely to campaign in the upcoming West Bengal and Kerala Assembly polls.

In Kerala, elections are expected by April but the season of political campaigning has already begun. The Congress which heads the ruling UDF alliance was the first to launch pre-campaign political rallies earlier this month. The CPM and BJP have followed in quick succession, with political yatras of their own.
