00:00We are fighting here an election against the LDF which is fully supported by the BJP.
00:08On one side is the UDF and on the other side is a combination of LDF and BJP.
00:19One famous economist many years ago said that there is a hidden hand in the market.
00:27He was making a point about economics but here in the Kerala elections there is a hidden hand of the
00:33BJP.
00:34And the BJP does not want the LDF, does not want the UDF here because they know that the only
00:42force that challenges them in the country is the Congress Party.
00:47We have a ideological difference, fundamental ideological difference with the BJP and the RSS.
00:56And the BJP understands that the left front LDF can never challenge them at the national level.
01:03And they also know that if they are in power in Delhi, then any LDF government in Kerala is fully
01:10under their control.
01:11Many of you will say, what is the proof for this statement that I am making?
01:16How do we know that it is factually correct?
01:18Well, the first proof is that people who fight the BJP, who genuinely fight the BJP, get attacked by the
01:26BJP.
01:27They get threatened by the BJP.
01:28I myself have been attacked.
01:32I have 36 cases on me.
01:35I have been interrogated for 55 hours non-stop.
01:38So, the first proof is that there is no attack on the chief minister of Kerala by the BJP.
01:45Everybody knows that the LDF leadership is corrupt.
01:50There are cases ongoing, but there is no pressure on them from the BJP.
01:55There is no interrogation.
01:56There are no threats from the BJP on them.
01:59And the second reason is the prime minister came here yesterday to Kerala.
02:05Wherever he goes, he talks about temples and religion.
02:10In every speech, he is talking about temple and religion.
02:14But somehow, he has forgotten about what happened in Sabarimala.
02:18He has forgotten that the left-front leaders stole from Ayyappaji.
02:26He has forgotten that the left-front leaders took the gold of Ayyappa temple and replaced it with brass.
02:37So, because he does not want to damage the BJP, he has kept quiet about the crime that has taken
02:46place against the holiest temple.
02:49This shows two things.
02:51The first thing it shows is that BJP and LDF are joined together.
02:57And the second thing it shows is Narendra Modi does not care anything about religion, Hinduism or temples.
03:04For him, if he gets a vote from the temple, then he will talk about the temple.
03:08If he wants to protect the interest of the LDF, then he will not speak about the temple.
03:12We don't make big speeches, but I guarantee you that the UDF government is going to make sure that the
03:19criminals who stole from the temple are finished, provided, are given the punishment that they deserve.
03:27The other thing is that I keep saying LDF, left-front.
03:33But really, the LDF does not behave like a left party in Kerala.
03:38In their actions, in their policies, they are as corporatist as the BJP.
03:44And you can ask LDF workers this question.
03:47You can ask them, is today's Kerala government truly a left government?
03:53Is today's Kerala government truly a government of the poor people of Kerala?
03:58Every single LDF worker will tell you, no, it is no longer a left government.
04:03It is now a corporatist, corporate-supported, corporate-funded government.
04:07Now you'll ask me again, what is the proof?
04:09I'll tell you the proof.
04:11UDF used to support rubber workers, used to protect the rubber industry.
04:15When they had difficult times, we used to give them compensation.
04:18The LDF refuses to compensate the rubber workers of Kerala.
04:24The left is about protecting workers from the market.
04:28But the LDF government in Kerala is not interested in protecting the workers,
04:33rubber workers, rubber industry from the market.
04:35They don't care.
04:36They are more than happy to have a relationship with big business,
04:39the same that Mr. Narendra Modi does.
