The CPI(M) in Kerala has initiated a political campaign against the Congress regarding recent demolition drives in Bengaluru, where many affected homes reportedly belong to Muslims. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan criticized the demolitions, accusing the Karnataka Congress government of emulating the BJP and violating constitutional values. The CPI(M) aims to leverage this issue for political advantage against the Congress in Kerala, framing it as a matter of minority targeting and human dignity.
