Modi flays Kerala govt’s stand on Sabarimala

Addressing a gathering of BJP workers at Kollam, Kerala, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that CPM-led LDF and Congress-led UDF were “two side of the same coin.” He criticised the stand of both parties on a host of issues ranging from Sabarimala and gender justice to corruption and economic reservation. He said that the conduct of the LDF government on the Sabarimala issue would go down in history as one of the “most shameful behaviour by any party and government.” Pointing out that the entire nation has been talking about Sabarimala for the last few months, he said, “We know that the communists do not respect Indian history, culture and spirituality but nobody imagined they would have such hatred.”
