Muraleedharan Vs Muraleedharan: Minister of State and Congress MP take digs at each other's political career
V Muraleedharan and Congress MP K Muraleedharan on Tuesday took digs at each other's political careers. While V Muraleedharan alleged that K Muraleedharan keeps changing his statements based on prevailing circumstances, the Congress MP hit back by challenging the BJP leader to contest and win even one poll — be it panchayat, assembly or Lok Sabha — from Kerala.
The comments by both leaders against each other were triggered following the flagoff, on Monday, of the second Vande Bharat Express train in Kerala.
«If someone like him with 50 years of experience can contest and win at least a panchayat election from Kerala, I will apologise to him for everything.
If he wins a panchayat or assembly or Lok Sabha election from the state, I will acknowledge his calibre,» K Muraleedharan said.
His response came hours after V Muraleedharan said that the Congress MP makes statements according to the prevailing circumstances and when the situation changes, he withdraws them.
«In my 50-year-long political career, I have had one ideology, one party and one stand, but he (K Muraleedharan) changed his stance and statements according to the change in circumstances,» the MoS said, a day after he faced criticism from the Congress leader.
The Congress MP was critical of the manner in which the union minister and the BJP handled the event prior to the flagoff from Kasaragod railway station and the subsequent behaviour of the MoS and party workers inside the train and at the stations where the Express halted during its inaugural run.
