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.
Taking a jibe at Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi over his “Shiv Bhakt” remark, firebrand BJP leader Subramanian Swamy wondered why senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal was fighting against Ram Mandir in the Supreme Court which begins final hearing in the Ayodhya dispute on Tuesday.
In a message on Facebook, Swamy wrote: “Kapil Sibal will be defending the claim of Sunni Wakf Board against Ram Mandir for fat fee. Some Shiva Bhakts!!”

Sibal is among the three lawyers including Rajeev Dhawan and Anup Chaudhary who are appearing for the Sunni Wakf Board, one of the parties to the dispute in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute.
A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices Ashok Bhushan and Abdul Nazeer will be hearing a total of 13 appeals filed against the 2010 judgment of the Allahabad High Court in four civil suits.
Rahul Gandhi had last month evoked Lord Shiva in reply to the Bharatiya Janata Party’s criticism of his temple visits as an election gimmick.
“Main Shiv ka bhakt hoon, sachaai mein believe karta hoon. BJP jo bhi bole main apni sachaai mein believe karta hu (I am a devotee of Shiv. The BJP may say anything, but I will remain honest),” he said while addressing reporters in Gujarat’s Patan.
