Venugopal accuses Pinarayi of targeting Rahul, silent on Modi

AICC leader KC Venugopal on Friday alleged that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan was afraid of Rahul Gandhi’s influence in Kerala and was not uttering a word against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Speaking to reporters here, Venugopal said the Chief Minister had been repeatedly attacking Rahul Gandhi in his press conferences over the past two days.

“He knows Gandhi’s influence on the people of Kerala. Hence, he is afraid of him. While frequently



attacking Gandhi, at least a word against Modi should have been said,” the Congress leader said.

He alleged that Vijayan was not speaking against Modi as he had signed agreements with the Centre on PM SHRI and the labour codes.

Venugopal said other chief ministers, including Tamil Nadu CM M K Stalin, were strongly raising states’ demands, securing funds and fighting divisive, while the Kerala chief minister was focused only on targeting Rahul.Politics
