The Congress on Saturday accused the Left Democratic Front of employing double standards by continuing to partner in the government with the Janata Dal (Secular) which has entered into a national alliance with the BJP. It pointed out that there is a dichotomy between the LDF’s professed stand against the Sangh Parivar and its forbearance of the “pro-BJP“ JD(S) in the government.
However, JD(S) State leaders said the national alliance has not diluted their staunchly secular anti-Sangh Parivar and pro-Left stance in Kerala.
Leader of the Opposition V.D.Satheesan demanded that the CPI(M) oust the JD(S) from the LDF if there was any sincerity in its anti-BJP stance.
