Tagging Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan and CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury, Tharoor asked “Is this their idea of politics?”
Meanwhile, Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan has denounced the violent attack on Rahul’s office in Wayanad and assured that culprits will not be spared.
“In our country, everyone has the right to air their opinions and protest democratically. However, that shouldn’t result in an excess. It is a wrong tendency. Strict action will be taken against the culprits,” Kerala CM tweeted.
