Modi, Rahul speak in the same tone while criticising Kerala: CM Vijayan
Pinarayi Vijayan said the negative remarks of Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi against the state sound the same.
Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday left for riot-hit Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh despite being denied permission by the authorities.
Uttar Pradesh ADG Law and Order Aditya Mishra had on Friday requested all political parties not to visit the violence-hit area until the situation returns to normal.
“No permission has been given for Rahul Gandhi’s visit to the district,” Mishra had said.

"We have requested all political parties not to visit the state until the situation is brought back to normal in Saharanpur." Mishra had said.
However, the Congress party had questioned the decision, saying Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is nobody to stop Rahul Gandhi from visiting Saharanpur.
Rahul will visit Saharanpur to take stock of the prevailing situation, where a caste conflict had erupted in which many Dalits were allegedly targeted.
Clashes occurred earlier after Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati's visit to Saharanpur, where one person was killed and several others were injured.
In the wake of clashes between two communities in Saharanpur, the Yogi Adityanath Government transferred 174 Sub-Divisional Magistrates.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) also asked the Uttar Pradesh Government to submit a report on the recent worrisome clashes in Saharanpur.
According to reports, on 5 May, one person was killed and 16 people, including a head constable, were injured in clashes between the Dalits and the Rajputs in Shabbirpur and Simlana villages.
