Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has made a startling allegation that a ritual is being conducted in Kerala with the intent to target him. Shivakumar, a prominent leader of the Indian National Congress, has expressed concerns over what he perceives as a malicious attempt against his well-being.
CPI(M)’s Strong Rebuttal
The Communist Party of India (Marxist), commonly known as CPI(M), has swiftly responded to Shivakumar’s claims, dismissing them as “nothing but madness.” CPI(M) leaders have criticized the allegations, stating that they are baseless and aimed at creating unnecessary controversy.
Political Tensions Rise

The allegations have sparked a political debate, with leaders from various parties weighing in on the matter. Supporters of DK Shivakumar have rallied behind him, demanding an investigation into the claims. On the other hand, CPI(M) has called for a focus on real issues affecting the public rather than entertaining what they describe as “superstitious” beliefs.
Background and Implications

The exchange highlights the deep-seated rivalries and tensions between political parties in the region. Observers note that such allegations could impact the political landscape, influencing public opinion and voter sentiments.
Calls for Caution
Political analysts have advised caution, urging leaders to avoid statements that could escalate tensions further. They emphasize the importance of addressing issues based on facts and evidence rather than resorting to sensational claims.
