Mr Vijayan ascertained the CPI(M) has been “an unwavering and unyielding force in the battle against the Sangh Parivar.”

It was on Thursday, Mr Gowda said that all the state units of the party has extended their support
“In Kerala, we are part of the government and our MLA is a minister there. These units understood the situation that made us to go with the BJP and supported our move. Our minister in the Left party’s government (K Krishnankutty) in Kerala has given consent to us,” he said.
“Kerala’s Left government’s Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has given full concurrence to move forward in Karnataka with the BJP to save the party. This is the position,” former prime minister had claimed.
However, Mr Gowda”s claim has erupted a political row in Kerala, where the opposition Congress alleged that JD(S) supremo”s statement reveals the nexus between the ruling CPI(M) and the BJP in Kerala.
