Kodiyeri alleges air strikes to sabotage polls

Kottayam: CPM state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan on Tuesday alleged that the air strikes conducted by India  against Pakistan ahead of the Lok Sabha elections were intended  to sabotage the  poll process by triggering a war with Pakistan.  

He was speaking during a function at a reception was accorded to Kerala Samrakshana Yathra at Nedumkandom.        

Mr Balakrishnan added that by invoking hatred towards Muslims the RSS and the BJP  are trying to create communal polarisation in the country.
