Kerala CM slams Rahul Gandhi, Congress for 'soft Hindutva' politics

Pinarayi Vijayan stated the Left is the alternative that could form a strong opposition which will counter the BJP at all levels.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan did not mince words on Tuesday as he slammed the 'soft Hindutva' politics of Congress. Vijayan alleged that Rahul Gandhi's Jaipur speech, which called for a rule of Hindus after ousting Hindutva, was a clear example of their 'soft Hindutva' politics. He further claimed that it would weaken Congress.

Vijayan went all in, suggesting that the Congress is not a viable alternative to the BJP at the Centre, especially given their stand on economic policies and privatisation in general, apart from the political implications. He went one step ahead and said that the Left is the alternative that could form a strong opposition which will counter BJP at all levels.
