CPI(M) and Congress, both corrupt: JP Nadda

New Delhi, 27 March (HS): The BJP national President J P Nadda on Saturday lambasted the CPI(M) led Left Democratic Front and the Congress-led United Democratic Front coalition saying that the parties have ideological crisis as in West Bengal, they are hand in glove while in Kerala they are fighting one another.

While addressing an election rally at Dharmadom Assembly in Kannur district in Kerala, the home turf of Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Nadda said, “The objective of both the parties is to oppose the BJP.” From Kannur, Nadda will go to Thrissur and Idukki before leaving for Tamil Nadu.

The BJP has fielded former state president C K Padmanabham from Dharmadom, the sitting seat of Vijayan who won the seat with a margin of 37,905 votes in the 2016 polls.

J P Nadda further said, “It is musical chair in Kerala, where these two parties come to power alternatively. Both are symbols of corruption. During the Congress-led UDF’s tenure it was Saritha Nair’s solar scam and now it’s the gold and dollar smuggling case of Swapna Suresh.”

Nadda said, “When the gold smuggling case unearthed, Vijayan demanded for a probe by national agencies but he opposed when it reached his office. Both the political fronts are immersed in corruption.”
