Union Minister V Muraleedharan on Thursday accused Kerala’s Communist Party of India (Marxist) of threatening him during his election campaign ahead of the Lok Sabha polls. The Union minister also alleged that the CPI (M) goons even attempted to attack the campaign vehicle and hurled abuses at him.

Posting a video of three men on a bike attempting to assault the minister, Muraleedharan took to X and wrote, “I will not be intimidated by the goons of CPI(M) Kerala who threatened me during the campaign and even attempted to attack the campaign vehicle.”

The minister further attacked the left party of being scared by the increasing presence of BJP in the state and said that CPI(M) is worried as the saffron party is receiving massive response in Kerala. Muraleedharan further alleged that the party is resorting to threatening BJP candidates.

“The State of Kerala, especially Attingal has decided to reject this “Politics of Violence Model” of the Communists,” Muraleedharan, the NDA candidate in the Attingal Lok Sabha constituency, said.

According to various reports, the incident took place at around 7 pm on Wednesday at Kottiyam Mukku in the Pallikal Grama Panchayat.

As per BJP workers, the three-member gang verbally abused Minister V Muraleedharan and others accompanying him during the election campaign.
