Vote-bases of CPI(M), Cong 'collapsed' due to appeasement of extremist elements: Javadekar
Congress have «completely collapsed» due to the «worst kind of appeasement politics» pursued by these parties to win over extremist elements in the state, claims senior BJP leader Prakash Javadekar. In an interview to PTI, Javadekar, who is the BJP's Kerala in-charge, alleged that the Congress-led UDF and the CPI(M)-headed LDF were fighting the polls solely on the agenda of extremist elements, focusing on issues like CAA and Palestine instead of prioritising a development agenda.
Due to this, the other sections of society, considered to be the backbone of the Left party and the Congress, are «very much angry» with them, he claimed.
«Kerala election has entered a very exciting phase of electioneering. I say this because many earlier equations are collapsing. Earlier, it was Muslims and Christians for the UDF while Ezhavas and other Hindus for the CPI(M). But it has completely collapsed,» Javadekar claimed.
He said the BJP is fighting the polls solely on the development agenda of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
«The CPI(M)-led LDF and the Congress-led UDF-both are not talking about the development of India. They are focusing on the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). They are discussing Palestine. Today, secularism is Sarv Dharma Sama Bhavana, respect for all religions. But instead, they are preaching...their agenda is completely focused on competitive appeasement of extremist elements,» he alleged.
