KANNUR:

state general secretary MT Ramesh has said the LDF and the UDF have lost their relevance in

as the CPM and the Congress have already formed an electoral alliance in West Bengal to consolidate the anti-BJP votes.

"So, it would be better if the two fronts have a similar pact in Kerala as well," he said mocking the alliance, addressing a press conference in Kasaragod on Tuesday, in connection with the north zone leg of the Parivarthana Yathra of the BJP.

He also said the Congress, which is demanding CBI probe into the Periya double murder, is not sincere in their protest. Though the murder of RMP leader TP Chandrasekharan was committed when the UDF was ruling the state, the probe was sabotaged, he alleged. If there was proper investigation in such cases, and the conspiracy was probed, such crimes would not have been repeated, said the leader.

When the BJP leaders spoke in Parliament against the political murders in Kerala, the Congress was silent, said Ramesh, who also alleged that the Congress and the CPM were taking a stance against the national sentiments post the terror attack at

in Jammu and Kashmir.

The north zone leg of the Yathra, with the slogan, ‘Bring Modi back again’, was flagged off from Kumbala by senior party leader CK Padmanabhan. It would tour different parts of Kasaragod,

, Kozhikode and Wayanad and conclude on March 10.
