THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The day-long 'Speak up Kerala' Satyagraha that was inaugurated online by AICC general secretary Mukul Wasnik, on Monday, demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan after "nepotism and corruption brought shame" to the state.
"Pinarayi Vijayan is the Modi of Kerala. The voice of Kerala is going to get stronger and none can crush it, even though Vijayan will try to do it. The gold smuggling case and numerous other corruption scandals that have surfaced under Vijayan's watch have brought shame to the state," said Wasnik.
"These protests cannot be crushed as this is 'Satyagraha' and truth will always triumph. We will force Vijayan to resign as he has failed in all respects. Just see what's happening on the COVID front, the stage is such that there is even a community spread. Just look at the way how rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of two floods have failed miserably. This 'Speak up campaign' has come at the right time. The Vijayan government has to resign," added Wasnik. (IANS)
