Priyanka Gandhi alleges CPI(M) in ‘deal’ with BJP for April 9 polls in Kerala

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Congress leader and Wayanad MP, on Monday (April 6, 2026) alleged that the CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) has struck a “deal” with the BJP for the April 9 Assembly polls in Kerala. She also accused the ruling LDF of “compromising” on ideology, accountability, and responsibility in order to remain in power for 10 years.

Ms. Vadra was addressing a corner meeting at Peravoor in Kannur district as part of the campaign for the Assembly polls.

She claimed that the LDF chose to make a deal with the BJP, which “harasses” the minorities, especially the Christian community and their nuns.

Despite the “massive theft” in Sabarimala, Prime Minister Narendra Modi chose not to utter a single word against it, Ms. Vadra alleged, and pointed it out as “evidence” for the deal.

When anyone raises a voice against the Prime Minister, they are faced with CBI, ED or income tax cases. There is no such single case against Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, she claimed.

She further charged that “a sense of arrogance” had crept into the LDF government, its Ministers and leaders.

“The sense of responsibility or accountability that every leader should have for the people is absent today. It is not just ideology that is absent,” Ms. Vadra alleged.
