The former LDF Health Minister slams the Opposition party as being ‘science challenged’
Former Health Minister and Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] legislative party whip K. K. Shailaja on Monday said the Congress party had alienated Opposition Leader V. D. Satheesan for openly declaring that he would not bow to pressure from caste-based social organisations and their satraps. Ms. Shailaja was piloting the motion of thanks to the Governor’s policy address. By some accounts, she was arguably the first woman legislator to undertake the task. Ms. Shailaja also slammed the Congress for being “science challenged”. She said the party was no different from the BJP in the matter. It singularly lacked a scientific temperament and toed a soft Hindutva line, she said.More Related News
