Mr. Nadda alleged that the Left government in the State was “inefficient, corrupt and believed” in violence. Speaking from the national capital at the inauguration of a party office in Kerala’s Kasaragod district, Mr. Nadda said the CPI(M)-led LDF and the Congress-led UDF were two sides of the same coin and sought people’s support to his party. Mr. Gandhi skipped 11 meetings of the Parliament’s committee on defence, and this shows his dedication to the issue, Mr. Nadda said, and accused him of “demoralising” the defence forces. Over 270 BJP workers have been killed in “CPI(M)-sponsored” political violence in the last two decades, Mr. Nadda said. More than ₹2 lakh crore has been given for development of railway infrastructure, ₹64,000 crore for national highways and ₹3,400 crore for developing the Cochin shipyard, Mr. Nadda said.
