BJP won’t open account in Kerala: Chandy
New Delhi : Kerala Chief Minister Oommeen Chandy says the ruling Congress-led UDF will win the May 16 assembly elections and the BJP will not be able to open its account in the state.
Chandy said in an interview to ETV that the United Democratic Front would “get a majority” in the state assembly, and there was negligible impact of the rallies addressed by Modi and BJP president Amit Shah.
“The BJP will not be able to open its account in the state whatever money it may spend,” Chandy said.
Chandy termed as “unfortunate” Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks during an election speech in which he likened some aspects of Kerala with Somalia.
He said Modi speaks more like a Bharatiya Janata Party leader than as a prime minister.
“When he speaks, it does not appear that a prime minister is speaking. In his statements there is greater reflection that a BJP leader is speaking,” he said.
Asked if Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi should be elevated as the president, Chandy said he can comment only on issues related to Kerala.
The UDF is locked in an intense contest with the Left Democratic Front in Kerala with the BJP trying to make the contest triangular.
Answering a query, Chandy said complete prohibition would be implemented in the state over 10 years.
He also vowed to ensure strict punishment to the guilty in the murder and alleged rape of a 30-year-old law student.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
