Kerala: BJP slams politics of convenience

The BJP on Saturday hit out at the “politics of convenience and opportunism” engaged by the Congress and the CPI(M) in West Bengal and Kerala and said their “countdown” has begun.

The BJP on Saturday hit out at the “politics of convenience and opportunism” engaged by the Congress and the CPI(M) in West Bengal and Kerala and said their “countdown” has begun.

“Both the Congress and the CPI(M) are attempting two models of alliance in the two states. In this election, they have shown their real colours,” Union chemicals and fertilisers minister Ananth Kumar, told a meet-the-press programme, organised by the Kerala Union of Working Journalists here.

While there was a Bengal-model with direct alliance between Congress and CPI(M), in Kerala there was an “indirect, underground and hidden” alliance between the two parties, he said.

“The common man has understood this hypocrisy — politics of opportunism and convenience,” he said and urged the people of the state to defeat the “unholy alliance” of the Congress-led front which was “corrupt” and CPI(M)-headed LDF which “indulged in violence.”

The BJP-led NDA’s endeavour was to see that the state gets a new dispensation which would ensure good governance, development and people’s welfare, he said.

Claiming that the two fronts were “nervous” and instead of attacking each other, they were targetting the BJP-led NDA alliance, he said “this shows that BJP has emerged as a force to reckon with... The countdown has started for both the fronts. Their days are numbered,” he said.
