The horrific crime in Kerala has prompted the state Congress to launch a scathing attack on the CPM-led Left Democratic Front government.
The rape and murder of a five-year-old girl in Kerala has yet again bared the cracks within Opposition bloc INDIA, with regional politics clashing with their mission to trump the BJP in 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
The horrific crime, in which both the victim and the accused are migrants, has prompted the state Congress to launch a scathing attack on the CPM-led Left Democratic Front government.
The state Congress's Twitter handle alleged that the Kerala Home department was corrupt and demanded Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's resignation. The Chief Minister, it said, cannot ensure safety even for children. State Health Minister Veena George visited the victim's family and said that strict action will be taken in the case.
