Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan attacks Rahul Gandhi, says he lacks understanding

“Rahul Gandhi is a national leader. But the reality is that he lacks the understanding of even a local worker. He is not willing to understand things properly. He refuses to learn despite getting smacked. These are not qualities fitting a political leader. I cannot understand how someone, whom all Congress workers see as their national face, can degrade so much?” Vijayan said.

The attack came a day after Gandhi alleged that the lack of progress in the corruption cases against Vijayan was proof of the collusion between Kerala’s ruling Communist Party of India (Marxist) or CPI(M) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Vijayan said Gandhi and the Congress were among the first ones to demand the arrest of former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal in the case related to alleged irregularities in Delhi’s 2021-22 excise policy. “Kejriwal was arrested and charged. Now see what happened.”
