LDF, UDF on for ring exchange, says Rajnath Singh
NDA will decide who should rule state, claims union home minister.
Kottayam: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday hinted at an understanding between the LDF and the UDF and said that both the fronts were preparing for a ring exchange.
Inaugurating the election campaign of NDA candidate A.G. Thankappan at Ettumanur, he said, “the CPM and the Congress, which are fighting in the state, have exchanged their rings in West Bengal. Both party leaders even shared the dais in West Bengal. What is right now in Kerala between the two is a secret alliance. After the exchange of the rings before the elections, it will be a public thing,” he told the huge crowd assembled at the government higher secondary school ground.
The people of Kerala perceive the NDA as a means to protest against the anti-people policies of the both the LDF and the UDF, he said and maintained that when the election results are out, the NDA will decide who should rule the state.
He said the murder of dalit girl Jisha was the last pointer to the breakdown of the law and order in the state. “ The government tried to hide the heinous incident,” he added. “Chief Minister Oommen Chandy should reveal why he covered up the issue,” he said.
