Kottayam: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief JP Nadda Sunday came down heavily on the Communist Party of India (Marxist) government in Kerala.
The BJP leader accused Pinarayi Vijayan-led state government of increasing debt. He said, ” The present CPI(M) government is trying to create a situation where the government will be in a debt trap; debt almost doubled now.”
Nadda asserted that there is lawlessness in the state while fringe elements are on rise.
“Our workers have been murdered. I salute my workers who have been working day and night inspite of all this and are going forward. In democracy there is no place for violence,” he added.

Meanwhile, the BJP president also hit out at the Kerala CM for alleged gold scam. He said, “Even CM’s office is not out of the frame of the corruption. The heat of gold scam have even reached to CM’s office.”
It should be noted that CM Pinarayi’s wife and daughter were also allegedly involved in the gold smuggling case.
The Kerala gold smuggling case involves illegal transfer of gold in the state through diplomatic channels. The instance made it to the national headlines after the custom department busted a consignment of 30 kg gold worth Rs 14.82 crore. The incident took place in Thiruvananthapuram on July 5, 2019.
