Thrissur, Feb 4 (UNI) BJP President J P Nadda on Thursday lambasted the ruling Left Democratic Government

of Kerala, saying it had lost the moral right to continue as many of its ministers and even the Speaker

have come under the scanner of corruption.

Turning to the Congress, he said it is facing ideological bankruptcy and that is why the party is

hobnobbing with the CPM in West Bengal while fighting against it in Kerala.

Kicking off the BJP’s election campaign in the State, the BJP chief said the Keraliites have lost all self

respect in and outside due to the gold scam involving top officials of the LDF government

If the previous Congress government was interest in solar business, the Pinarayi government was

favouring gold smuggling. The people of Kerala is fed up and it is time now to throw both the parties out

of power, he told a huge gathering at the sprawling Vadakunathan temple maidan.

He said several ministers of the LDG government were involved in corruption cases. It was strange that

even the Speaker’s name found in the Gold smuggling case.This has brought disgrace to the entire

people of Kerala, he said.

It was unheard of attacking the constitutional authority like CAG and the LDF government went to that

extent, he said.

He did not spare the opposition Congress saying the party which was silent on the Sabarimala iissue,

now says it will bring law to settle the matter which is still before the Supreme Court.

Elaborating various assistance given to the state by the Cenrtral government, he said the central

financed commission has allotted a substantial amount for the development.

Earlier, he had discussions with state BJP leaders on the preparations for the coming assembly polls.

Mr Nadda who arrived in Thiruvanthapuram yesterday arrived in Thrissur today to address the public

meeting.
