Kannur (Kerala) [India], September 27 (ANI): Kerala's Leader of the Opposition VD Satheesan on Friday criticised the ruling Communist Party of India (Marxist), saying the party had earlier appeased minorities before the last parliamentary elections but has now turned to majority appeasement.

"The party (CPI (M)) had for years appeased minorities before the last parliamentary elections and has now shifted to majority appeasement, thus lacking any genuine commitment to secularism," Satheesan told reporters in Kannur.

"The UDF's position on these issues remains unchanged for the parliamentary elections, after them and in times ahead. Kerala was fundamentally secular, and both the older and the younger generations would rally behind constitutional values against divisive politics," he added.
