Kerala CM not sincere in opposing CAA: VD Satheesan
The CM even failed to withdraw anti-CAA protest cases, alleges Congress leader.
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Sunday said that the BJP has become a destructive force and if it gets another chance, it will be disastrous for the country.
Speaking at a CPI-M public meeting at Vazhoor in Kottayam, Pinarayi Vijayan alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is encouraging violence in the country.
Responding to Home Minister Amit Shah, who on Saturday indirectly mentioned that Kerala is not safe, Pinarayi Vijayan said that everyone knows very well what Kerala is and what is the situation in Karnataka.

“If Amit Shah meant that Kerala should be made an example, it is fine. But that is not what Amit Shah said. We have heard about Sri Ram Sena in Karnataka, where they have carried out large-scale attacks in areas including Mangaluru. The Sangh Parivar carried out large-scale attacks on Christian churches,” CM Vijayan said
Amit Shah on Saturday at a public meeting at Puthur near Mangaluru said that only the BJP can ensure security in Karnataka and that he is not saying anything about Kerala. Shah said: “There is Kerala near you. I don’t want to say much. If you want to keep Karnataka safe, only the BJP can do this.”
“In Kerala everyone has the opportunity to live peacefully without any communal conflict. Kerala stands as a land without communal conflict. Does anyone has a problem here because they believe in any religion,” he asked
Speaking on the economic situation in the country, Pinarayi Vijayan said that India has become a nation where hunger and poverty reign supreme.
Coming out against the Congress, he said that the grand old party has become the BJP’s recruiting agency. The Congress cannot stop giving people to the BJP, CM Vijayn added.
“The Congress is looking at how it can denigrate Kerala. The Congress is opposing all the projects that bring progress to the state,” Pinarayi Vijayan said.
