Above all a contest between two candidates, the ensuing Lok Sabha elections would be a fight between two ideologies and stand points, former Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha P.J. Kurien has said.
Prof Kurien was inaugurating a meeting of block-level Congress leaders, organised by the District Congress Committee here on Monday.
According to him, the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections in Kerala would witness a electoral battle between the alleged anti-people Government led by Narendra Modi and the ‘murder politics’ and rule of violence by the LDF government led by Pinarayi Vijayan in the State.
Prof Kurien said the people of India have got an opportunity to defeat the anti-secular, anti-democratic, and fascist forces that have allegedly usurped the power of various constitutional institutions.
He stressed the importance and need to ensure a thumping victory for the incumbent MP, Anto Antony, in the ensuing general elections too.
Addressing the meeting, Mr Antony sought whole hearted support of the UDF camp to him in the forthcoming polls.
Babu George, DCC president, presided over the meeting.
Pazhakulam Madhu, Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee secretary; Abdul Kalam Azad, Congress block committee vice-president; Anil Thomas, Vettoor Jyotiprasad, A.Sureshkumar, Samuel Kizhakkupuram, K.Jasimkutty, Sunil S.Lal, M.C.Sheriff, V.R.Soji, Sindhu Anil, all Congress block committee office-bearers, spoke.
