Conflict seems to be increasing in the opposition alliance INDIA regarding the candidature of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
Now Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has termed Rahul’s contesting from Wayanad as ‘inappropriate’. The Left party leader has also alleged that Congress has played an important role in the ED (Enforcement Directorate) investigation against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Vijayan says that Congress’s decision to field Rahul against CPI candidate Annie Raja is unfair.
He said, ‘Can Rahul Gandhi say that he has come here to fight against NDA? He has come here to fight against LDF, which is a big political force.
He asked, ‘What explanation can we give for contesting elections against LDF, which is part of the INDIA block? And that too against Annie Raja, who is a national level leader.
He has also accused Rahul Gandhi of ‘double standards’. Kerala CM questioned why Rahul remained silent on the issue of CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act) during the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra.
Serious allegations against Congress
During this, Vijayan also cornered Congress on the issue of central agencies. He said that ‘Congress does not say anything when non-Congress opposition leaders are targeted by central agencies’.
According to the report, he alleged, ‘Congress has played an important role in making allegations of corruption in the matter related to the liquor policy of the AAP government in Delhi, due to which ED took action against Arvind Kejriwal.
When Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia was arrested, Congress had complained why Kejriwal was not taken into custody.
