Prime Minister Narendra Modi today accused Congress and Communists in Kerala of doing 'dramabaji' by engaging in serving each other and not serving the people.
Continuing his tirade against them, he said while Congress was deep in corruption, Communists were linked to violence.
The two were doing 'dramabaji' (enacting drama) in Kerala as they help each other in times of need and not keen on emergence of a third force, he told an election meeting at nearby Tripunithura, attended by a large number of people, who braved showers to hear him.
Both were engaged in 'serving each other' and not serving the people, he charged winding up his second and final leg of electioneering for the May 16 assembly elections, in which the BJP is seeking to make its maiden entry in the state legislature.
He alleged the Congress-led UDF and CPI(M)-headed LDF help each other in times of need.
"There is an agreement between Congress and Communists. They do not want any third force to work for Kerala," Modi said indirectly referring to the bipolar politics of the two fronts that have ruled the state alternately for decades.
"It is a contract rule between Congress and Communists like odd-even. For five years Congress will rule and for another five years Communists will rule," he said.
UDF and LDF were fooling the educated electorate here, he said, adding "Why don't you understand this."
"They have made such a 'chavi' (impression) that they are two different parties. These two parties are not different. They are one," Modi said pointing to the Congress-CPI-M tie up in West Bengal.
The Prime Minister said whenever Congress was in need of help at the Centre, Communists have supported them.
"In Kerala they are doing dramabaji... They are not fighting each other but enacting a drama," he added.
In a bid to reach out to over five lakh government
employees in the state, the Prime Minister said both UDF and LDF government had insulted them over the years with their 'discrimination'.
"How can a government make such discrimination with its employees?," he asked and said the BJP would give them their due respect and recognition.
Attacking Congress over various scams including 2G and Coal scam, Modi said, "There have been corruption charges against everyone in the previous UPA government."
Targeting Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, Modi said, "Here in Kerala, corruption happens in broad daylight and it was involved in solar 'chori' (theft)."
In a sarcastic remark, Modi said while in Delhi, Congress involved in corruption in coal, in Kerala "it is from the bright Sun also" as he hit out at Chandy who is facing allegations in the solar scam.
He said corruption cannot be separated from Congress and similarly, Communist were linked with violence.
"Where there is Congress, there is so much corruption and everything begins with corruption, while strikes, industrial shut down and violence are what happen under Communist rule," Modi charged.
On the contrary, the BJP-led states were galloping fast, he said, adding "Take any parameter of development, wherever BJP has formed government, states have done well."
Whether in Kerala or West Bengal, when Communists were in power, there was violence, poverty and no signs of development, the PM said.
On the BJP-led NDA government's initiatives, Modi said the whole world had accepted the strength of India and 'Foreign Direct Investment in the country is increasing'.
"The country has not seen this kind of increase in the recent past," he added.
"Despite global economic slowdown which affected even China, India is the only country which stood and registered economic growth. World Bank, IMF and credit rating agencies have recognised this," he said.
He said the NDA government fulfilled its promise of implementing the 'One Rank One Pension' scheme, a long-pending demand of war veterans.
Urging people to vote for BJP and NDA, Modi said "people of Kerala should not vote to elect an MLA or bring a party to power, but to ensure the future of the state."
"Kerala's future is on your fingertips," he added.
