Kerala Assembly Elections 2026: Pinarayi is Kerala’s Modi, says Supriya Shrinate

AICC social media and digital communication chairperson Supriya Shrinate on Saturday called Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan “Kerala’s Modi,” saying that both were aces at suppressing voices of dissent.

Addressing mediapersons at the KPCC headquarters here, Ms. Shrinate said Mr. Vijayan imitates Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s style in election campaigning. Mr. Modi campaigns by raising his huge flex boards across the country and when one comes to Kerala, all that one sees around are huge flex boards of Mr. Vijayan, she said.

Mr. Vijayan is a true copy of Mr. Modi not just in propaganda, but when it comes to silencing the voices of the Opposition as well, Ms. Shrinate alleged. The Constitution guarantees citizens the right to protest and freely express their opinion. However, both Mr. Modi at the Centre and Mr. Vijayan in Kerala have been suppressing all voices of dissent by filing false cases and using the police to repress them, she said.
