The partners of the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) came together in a show of strength at a rally organised in the capital on Tuesday against what they termed high-level conspiracy to tarnish Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and bring down the LDF government, which came to power for the second successive term with increased popular support.
Communist Party of India (Marxist) State secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, who inaugurated the rally, came down hard on the "unholy nexus" between the Congress, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the corporate media.
He portrayed the recent controversies following the allegations raised by gold smuggling case accused Swapna Suresh as part of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)'s attempts to intervene in Kerala politics through nefarious means.
