- KC Venugopal claims a CPI(M)-BJP nexus in Kerala, saying it will not succeed in the ongoing election.
- UDF to release detailed manifesto soon; expresses confidence of winning 100 seats.
KC Venugopal on Sunday alleged that a nexus between the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Bharatiya Janata Party is evident in the ongoing election, asserting that such an arrangement would not succeed in Kerala this time.
Addressing a press conference, the AICC leader reiterated the party’s promise of free Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus travel for women if the UDF comes to power.
"CPI(M) and LDF know very well that people's sentiments are against them and are applying their last trick. CPI(M)-BJP friendship is not new in Kerala," he said.
Venugopal claimed that signs of this alleged relationship were visible in issues such as PM-SHRI and the Left party’s stance towards the central government.
"When a bridge is laid, there should be benefits to both sides. We have seen the postponement in the Lavlin case against the Chief Minister. We have also seen the pace of investigations by central agencies in Kerala," he said.
He further alleged that the connection was reflected in the candidate lists of both parties, suggesting a tacit understanding to benefit each other electorally.
"But I am sure that even their party workers will reject this deal. They have tried it before, but it was exposed. The same fate will repeat," he said.
