Every vote for CPI-M in Kerala will help BJP: Rahul

Thiruvananthapuram: Every vote for the CPI-M in Kerala would end up helping the BJP when it comes to the big electoral picture. This was Congress star campaigner Rahul Gandhi's main thrust during his campaign blitz

At his third venue in central Kerala's Chengannur, he said the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government has delivered what it had promised and it would continue to work for the uplift of the poor and downtrodden.

Touching down at his fourth venue - the Attingal Lok Sabha constituency in the capital district - close to sunset, Gandhi attacked both the CPI-M and the BJP, claiming they were two sides of the same coin.

"Both parties are trying to gain power using violence. We gave the people Right to Education, Right to Food and Right to Information. The next UPA government will assure Right to Health and Right to a Job," the Congress leader said.

One of the highlights of Gandhi's visit was the huge number of women who had turned up at his meetings, which has encouraged the party's state leadership.
