BJP president JP Nadda (ANI)
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: On a two-day visit to poll-bound Kerala, BJP president JP Nadda on Wednesday attacked the ruling CPM-led LDF and chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan. He said the CM has lost his credibility and his office has embarrassed the self-respect of Keralites through various corruption allegations including the gold smuggling case.
Nadda, who reached Thiruvananthapuram at noon to set in motion the organisational activities of the saffron party ahead of the assembly elections likely in April-May, told reporters that the assembly resolution against constitutional body CAG was dangerous in a democratic set up.
He hit out at the LDF and the opposition UDF spearheaded by the Congress, saying they are two sides of the same coin.
Chennithala said Panakkad’s family always gave thrust to secularism.

The Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) has made a concerted pitch to counter what its leaders described as “demonisation” of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
The party reportedly felt the Left Democratic Front s (LDF) bid to stir prejudice against the IUML to polarise voters on religious lines had fallen on receptive ears, especially among the Christian community in central and south Kerala.
The Islamophobic propaganda reflected in the erosion of traditional UDF votes in the local body polls. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had also electorally benefited from the bogey of radical Islam raised by the LDF.
