Pinarayi’s FB comment draws sharp reaction from League, Samastha ‘Communal polarisation’ is set to be the catch phrase of rival parties and fronts heading into the upcoming electoral battle for the State Assembly.
The sharp reactions to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s comment on his Facebook page on Saturday that the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) is pursuing dominance in the United Democratic Front (UDF) and deciding who should lead the Congress have arguably set the scene for the perceived communal divide to occupy the centre stage in the coming days ahead of the election.

‘CM only trying to create divisions in UDF’
The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) on Sunday strived to fend off the accusation that it had attempted to supplant Congress as the dominant partner in the United Democratic Front (IUML).
IUML general secretary P.K. Kunhalikutty said his party would not fall for Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan s ploy to create divisions in the UDF. The IUML had decided not to get drawn into the internal mechanics of the Congress. Moreover, it would restrict its view on the workings of alliance partners strictly within the confines of the UDF.
In a Facebook post, IUML Malappuram district secretary Sadiq Ali Shihab Thangal said his party had always strived to keep the Congress in the front. It had never aspired to usurp the position of the Congress in the UDF.
Pinarayi indulging in communally divisive politics, says Chennithala
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Saturday sought to widen the perceived fissures in the United Democratic Front (UDF) by stating that a weakened Congress was fated to become a subaltern part of the Opposition coalition.
Mr. Vijayan waded into the apparent dissensions in the arguably embattled UDF leadership even as the alliance met here to make sense of its poor showing in the local body polls.
In a Facebook post, Mr. Vijayan said the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) had pursued dominance in the UDF at the cost of an enfeebled Congress.
