BJP Kerala President Rajeev Chandrasekhar slams Congress' false narrative on Manipur, congratulates Nitish Kumar on taking oath as Bihar CM

BJP Kerala President Rajeev Chandrasekhar attacks Congress for spreading false Manipur violence narrative, welcomes RSS chief's visit, and congratulates Nitish Kumar.

"All of us are aware that, led by the Congress party, there was a very, very false narrative that was spread about what the reality in Manipur was - Rajeev Chandrasekhar"

Kerala, November 20

BJP Kerala President Rajeev Chandrasekhar launched a sharp attack on the Congress party, accusing it of deliberately spreading a "false narrative" around the violence in Manipur and attempting to distort the nature of the conflict for political gain on Wednesday.

Speaking to ANI, Chandrasekhar said there was a "concerted, deliberate attempt by forces within the country and outside the country" to misrepresent the ethnic clashes in the state.

"All of us are aware that, led by the Congress party, there was a very, very false narrative that was spread about what the reality in Manipur was," Chandrasekhar said.

He added that the attempt to portray "the ethnic, tribal violence between two tribal communities in Manipur as something that was based on two religions" had been exposed with time. According to him, people across India and abroad have now "come to know the truth."

Chandrasekhar welcomed RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's visit to Manipur, calling it a positive step toward reconciliation. "So I think anybody who is contributing to peace, to understanding, to bringing together people who have had long-held disputes, it is a worthy contribution, and I welcome such visits," he said, expressing hope for long-term harmony between the Kuki and Meitei communities.

Extending his remarks to national politics, Chandrasekhar congratulated Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on behalf of the BJP workers in Kerala. "I... congratulate the most respected Mr Nitish Kumar for this responsibility that the people of Bihar have continued to give him... and the NDA government," he said, praising the state's progress in "development, prosperity, opportunities... and especially in safety and law and order."

The BJP leader also criticised the Congress and CPM for repeatedly questioning the credibility of India's electoral processes. Aiming for the Opposition's challenges to Electronic Voting Machines, he said, "They went to the Supreme Court and it was found that the entire case was made for fabrication of lies." He accused the parties of failing to understand why they were being rejected by voters, saying they "are losing elections because they are lying to people... indulging in corruption... exploiting and looting."

Defending the Election Commission, Chandrasekhar said there was "no need to be nervous" for those genuinely committed to democracy.

As someone from Kerala, I appreciate our BJP president speaking clearly about national issues. The opposition parties need to stop blaming EVMs for their electoral losses and focus on real development work like the NDA government is doing.

While I agree that peace efforts in Manipur are important, I wish political leaders would focus more on concrete solutions rather than just blaming opponents. The people of Manipur deserve lasting peace, not political point-scoring.

Mohan Bhagwat ji's visit to Manipur is indeed a positive step. When spiritual leaders get involved in peace efforts, it creates a different atmosphere altogether. Hope this brings the communities together 🤝

Nitish Kumar has done good work in Bihar, no doubt. Law and order situation has improved significantly under his leadership. Good to see BJP acknowledging this despite political differences sometimes.

The EVM debate is getting tiresome now. Supreme Court has already given its verdict. Opposition should accept the people's mandate and work constructively instead of making excuses every time they lose elections.

Interesting to see a Kerala BJP leader speaking on national issues. The political landscape in India is definitely evolving with regional leaders taking more prominent roles in national discourse.
