'BJP buying democracy, Cong put up for sale' | Thiruvananthapuram News

Pinarayi Vijayan
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said that the BJP has reduced democracy to an item to be purchased while Congress itself has become a thing put up for sale.
The rivals of LDF have big concerns over the added mass support to the government. “Now, they are trying to create certain kind of symbols for limiting the discussions to such issues. Congress tries to give a message that contest in Nemom is the party’s trump card in its fight against BJP. The Congress should first make it clear that where have their votes gone in the previous election in Nemom. Now, they (the Congress) say they have fielded a strong person in Nemom. It will take quite some time to know whether the Congress is sincere in its fight against BJP in Nemom,” the CM told a news conference in Kannur on Tuesday.
