And since then, the religion of crores of Hindus and devotees has taken a beating as to the place does the CPM chief’s allegiances lie.It was Vijayan’s diabolical dealing with of the problem that helped Congress-led UDF to win 19 out of 20 Lok Sabha seats in 2019, whereas the BJP elevated its vote share exponentially.
