In Kerala, a BJP leader’s move to join the Congress has ignited political tensions. The Communist Party of India (Marxist), CPI(M), took the unusual step of publishing his alleged remarks about Muslims in two major newspaper advertisements, drawing significant public and political attention.
CPI(M)’s Newspaper Ads Criticize BJP Leader
The CPI(M)-funded advertisements included controversial statements made by the former BJP leader during his tenure in the party. These remarks, perceived as inflammatory and communal, have been used by the CPI(M) to highlight his ideological contradictions following his switch to Congress.
Congress Faces Political Backlash
The Congress party, which welcomed the leader’s induction, now faces scrutiny over accepting someone with such controversial statements in their past. This has given CPI(M) and BJP an opportunity to question the Congress’ stance on communal harmony and inclusivity.
BJP Calls Out Political Opportunism
Meanwhile, the BJP has also criticized the move, accusing the leader of political opportunism and alleging that his shift was driven by personal ambitions rather than ideological commitment.
Rising Political Tensions in Kerala
This incident has added fuel to the already charged political atmosphere in Kerala, where political parties often spar over issues of communalism, inclusivity, and ideological purity.
