"Remote-controlled by Jamaat": Kerala BJP President Rajeev Chandrasekhar slams Congress on Jamaat ties

New Delhi [India], July 2 (ANI): Kerala BJP President Rajeev Chandrasekhar has intensified his attack on the Congress party, accusing it of being "remote-controlled" by Jamaat-e-Islami, an organisation he claims promotes anti-secular ideologies.
Speaking in Delhi, he claimed that Jamaat-e-Islami is now influencing Congress's political strategy in Kerala, and Congress is being remotely controlled for electoral gains.
"Jamaat-e-Islami believes in anti-secularism. This is the party with whose help the Congress has been forced to take in Kerala to win elections. The people of India should know where the politics of the Congress has gone. Congress has become a party which is completely remote-controlled by Jamaat," he said.
He also warned that the Congress is now in an "unhealthy political relationship" with the Jamaat.
"All these years, the BJP has been alerting the people of India that Congress and the INDI alliance parties have unhealthy political relationships with Jamaat-e-Islami, PFI, etc. But earlier, we had no proof. But now, Congress was forced by Jamaat-e-Islami to admit that they were taking support from them," Chandrasekhar said.

Kerala BJP President Rajeev Chandrasekhar further said, "You see Tejashwi Yadav in Bihar, they don't say a word about development, or address people's problems. They go to just one society and make a fool out of that community. There is no room for Sharia law and an Islamic state here. This doesn't prevent the INDIA alliance members like SP, Tejashwi Yadav's RJD, from making a fool of this community by fear mongering or promising what will never happen."
Chandrasekhar extended his criticism to other members of the opposition INDIA bloc, accusing them of abandoning governance and focusing instead on community-specific politics.
The Kerala BJP Chief also targeted other INDIA alliance members, including the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Samajwadi Party (SP), accusing them of exploiting communities through fear-mongering.
