Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Public Works Minister, P A Mohammed Riyas took a sharp dig at BJP state president Rajeev Chandrasekhar, criticizing his behavior as inappropriate and unbecoming of a political leader during the inauguration of the Vizhinjam International Port.
Riyas said that while senior cabinet ministers, including the state’s Finance Minister, were seated among the audience, Chandrasekhar choose to sit alone on stage and chant slogans well before the event officially began. He said the act was a discourteous and mocked the BJP leader for using the platform to draw attention to him and did not show respect to the decorum of the occasion.
The minister further said that the Prime Minister’s Office may have arranged for Chandrasekhar’s presence on stage, but that did not justify his actions. He said, “This is not anti-democratic, but Malayalis will certainly view this behavious as rude.”

New Delhi (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday termed the BJP's victory in Bengal and Assam assembly polls a "theft" of the mandate, and a big step forward in the saffron party's mission to "destroy" Indian democracy.
Gandhi also came out in support of the TMC, which has been trounced by the BJP in the polls, and urged those gloating over the loss of Mamata Banerjee's party to put petty politics aside.
"Some in the Congress, and others, are gloating about TMC's loss.They need to understand this clearly - the theft of Assam and Bengal's mandate is a big step forward by the BJP in its mission to destroy Indian democracy," Gandhi said in a post on X.
"Put petty politics aside. This is not about one party or another. This is about India," he said in his post.
The BJP ousted Trinamool Congress from power in Bengal and captured power for the third time in a row in Assam in results of assembly polls declared on Monday.
