Kerala police has registered a case against Nilambur MLA PV Anvar for allegedly inciting conflict in the community by leaking the phone conversations of senior officials in the state.
He said that the Congress is seeking the support of SDPI, which is the political wing of PFI. The Communists are also vying for their support.
The reports alleging that case after case against state chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his family members and the CPI-M leaders are being ‘settled’ by the leaders of the BJP and the CPI-M through middlemen make them despondent.
Launching a big attack on the CPI (M)-led Left and the Congress at the BJP Mahila Conference in Thrissur, Kerala, he said the Left party and the Congress have been two parties in name only. When it comes to corruption, crime or nepotism, both of them do everything together, he said.

CPI-M leader Surya Kanta Mishra shared a message where CPI-M general secretary Sitaram Yechury stressed that Bengal needs an alternate narrative which is both secular and democratic seeking to restore constitutional order.
State Congress working president and sitting MLA from Matigara-Naxalbari, Sankar Malakar, former Siliguri Mahakuma Parishad sabhadhipati and senior CPI-M leader Tapas Sarkar were among the leaders who led the rally.
The “alliance” of the three parties which seek to unite against the Trinamul and the BJP may have already shown the cracks.
Interestingly, in the last assembly polls held in 2016, Congress fought in alliance with the Left parties and secured 44 seats to emerge as the second-largest party.
This is the first time the Congress has stayed away from a Front rally despite being invited. The rally was a warm-up exercise in support of the nationwide joint agitation programme against various pieces of legislations of the BJP-led NDA government scheduled to be held on 26 November in which trade union wings of the Congress and CPI-M are to participate.
