Don’t insult people of Kerala: Yechury tells Modi
Kerala can provide the direction by which the country can emerge from the multi-faceted crisis that it is facing today, by choosing the Left alternative in the upcoming Assembly elections, CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury has said.
He was addressing the Left Democratic Front (LDF)’s campaign rally in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday.
“The crisis we are facing is multi-faceted. There is a social crisis with communal forces spreading poison, a political crisis with these forces holding the reigns of power at the Centre, and an economic crisis that is causing burden for the people,” he said.
Harmonious society
Calling Kerala as the ‘most harmonious society’ in the country, Mr. Yechury said that today that harmony was threatened to be destroyed. Commenting on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remark that the LDF and UDF in Kerala were involved in a contract by alternating in power every five years, he said Mr. Modi was insulting the political consciousness of the people by such comments.
“The Prime Minister should understand that if there is a change in government every five years, that is to the credit of the people who have kept politicians on their toes to get the work done. If you are insulting the people by calling it a contract, they will give a resounding answer in the elections, as was seen in Delhi and Bihar,” he said.
