Alliance Rifts: Kerala CM Criticizes Rahul Gandhi's Wayanad Move

On April 1st, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan criticized Rahul Gandhi for contesting against the I.N.D.I. alliance in Wayanad, questioning his motives and role within the Congress party. Vijayan emphasized that Gandhi's decision to contest from Wayanad only serves to weaken the I.N.D.I. alliance's stance against the BJP, rather than directly challenging the BJP. He expressed disappointment that Gandhi chose to confront the Left Democratic Front (LDF) instead of focusing on battling the BJP, the common adversary of the alliance. Vijayan highlighted the irony of Gandhi's candidacy in Wayanad, where he faces CPI leader Annie Raja, a respected figure within the Left, despite Gandhi's purported role as a prominent figure in the Congress party. The Kerala CM raised doubts about Gandhi's commitment to fighting against the BJP and questioned his track record of addressing national issues effectively. Additionally, Vijayan criticized the Congress party's role in the ED probe against Arvind Kejriwal in the Delhi Liquor scam case, accusing Congress of instigating the investigation against the Delhi government. He urged Congress to reflect on its actions and acknowledge its mistakes, particularly in light of its shifting stance on various issues. Vijayan's remarks underscore the tensions within the I.N.D.I. alliance and the broader political landscape, highlighting the complexities of coalition politics in India.
