Is P.V. Anwar trying to learn from Elon Musk in how to turn friends into foes — and potential friends into sworn enemies.

Musk is doing quite a bit of that with US President Donald Trump these past few days. And in Kerala, there is no stopping Anwar, who has taken up a bitter war of words against V.D. Satheesan, the Leader of the Opposition in the Kerala Assembly. And Anwar is giving equal time to who he sees as his arch-foe — Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.

All this while the by-election in the Nilambur constituency edges closer to the voting day on June 19.
