Thiruvananthapuram: Launching a scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi and the Congress over AAP’s Delhi Assembly poll defeat, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday alleged that the grand old party has now deteriorated to the extent that it even celebrates the victory of the BJP.
Accusing the Congress of retreating from its commitment to fighting the BJP alongside other parties, he alleged that Rahul himself led a campaign against the AAP in Delhi, a state where Congress had no chance of winning, thus helping the BJP come to power.
“Congress lost its deposit in 65 of the 70 assembly seats in Delhi, yet they celebrated when AAP lost the elections to the BJP. Congress has deteriorated into a party that now even celebrates the victory of the BJP,” Pinarayi Vijayan said while addressing activists of the Students Federation of India (SFI) during a meeting organised as part of the 35th state conference of the outfit here.
