Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday targetted Kerala’s ruling LDF over the gold smuggling scam, saying the CPI(M)-led government “betrayed” the people of the state just as Judas did to Lord Jesus for a few pieces of silver.
“About LDF it can be said: Judas betrayed Lord Christ for a few pieces of silver. LDF has betrayed Kerala for a few pieces of gold”, the PM said while attacking the Left government over the sensational gold smuggling case.
Addressing his first election rally in Palakkad where ‘Metro Man’ E Sreedharan is contesting as the BJP candidate, Modi also criticised the UDF over corruption, saying during its rule, the Congress-led government did not even spare rays of sun, a reference to the solar panel scam.
