During a rally in Alappuzha, Kerala, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a strong critique against the Pinarayi Vijayan-led Left Democratic Front (LDF), asserting that the alliance has strayed from its foundational leftist principles. He accused the LDF of forming an alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), stating that there is 'nothing left about the Left Front anymore.' Gandhi highlighted the discomfort among LDF leaders regarding the shift in the alliance's policies, suggesting that a 'hidden hand' is influencing the LDF's direction. He further questioned why Prime Minister Narendra Modi does not criticize Chief Minister Vijayan during his rallies, despite attacking the Congress party regularly. Gandhi expressed concerns over the arrogance of both Modi and Vijayan, claiming that their prolonged tenure has led to a disconnect with the electorate. His comments come as Kerala prepares for its Assembly elections on April 9, where a significant contest between the LDF and the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) is anticipated.
