Kochi, April 09: Hitting out at the CPI(M)-led LDF government in Kerala, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi today accused it of unleashing tremendous “violence and fear” against opponents, and not promoting the state’s growth and industrialisation.
“In order to support the political organisation, Left Front uses tremendous amount of violence and fear. You know better than me how the Left Front government uses violence on our workers and common people of Kerala,” Gandhi, here for electioneering, told a UDF convention.
Charging the LDF government with valuing “their organisation over and above the people of Kerala,” he said this was not what a government should do. “A government is responsible first to its people and then to its political party”.
Gandhi promised the electorate that a Congress-led government would ‘push’ economic development ‘very aggressively’ in the state.
