VD Satheesan said Vijayan is trying to make the Jamaat-e-Islami issue controversial to divert attention from people's problems
Senior Congress leader and Opposition leader in the Kerala Assembly, VD Satheesan, on Sunday alleged that state Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is changing colours like a chameleon while speaking about his party's relationship with Jamaat-e-Islami.
Addressing a press conference in Nilambur on Sunday, Satheesan said Chief Minister Vijayan is trying to make the Jamaat-e-Islami issue controversial so that people's problems are not discussed among the voters in Nilambur.
He said that while the Congress-led UDF is seeking votes in Nilambur by raising problems and woes being experienced by the people, the CPI-M-led LDF campaign is concentrating on communalism. "The UDF is seeking votes by raising the issues of the people—their problems and woes. But the CPI-M is talking about communalism in the campaign," Satheesan said.
