Speaking to reporters, Praveen Kumar said, "This is a clear sign of Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan's Sangh leanings. He met PM Modi immediately after taking oath as the CM. By understanding with BJP he appointed Loknath Behra as Director General of Police. Behra had given a clean chit to PM Modi and Amit Shah in the Gujarat riot case. Now Behra is implementing Sangh agendas by the admittance of Pinarayi."
