Senior Congress leader K C Venugopal was addressing Adivasi Dalit Sangam on the second day of the Congress' campaign against inflation
Criticising the Left regime in Kerala, AICC general secretary and MP K C Venugopal today alleged that the state government was more concerned about protecting killers and its ambitious SilverLine project rather than safeguarding interests of tribals or providing them proper housing.
Mr Venugopal's critique of the state government came while addressing the Adivasi Dalit Sangam on the second day of the Congress' nationwide Jana Jagratha campaign against inflation, a release said.
The senior Congress leader said that the state government was ready to spend around Rs 1 lakh crore on the SilverLine project, but it was unable to provide proper housing to the tribal families.
He alleged that while the Pinarayi Vijayan government appeared to be taking an "anti-people" stance like the Narendra Modi government at the centre, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has no hesitation in embracing the tribal community, according to the release.
He took to X to share his distress, describing the situation as "painful to watch" especially since he was in the US and unable to personally intervene.
