#keralaPolls2026 : Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan Hits Out At Rahul Gandhi, Terms Congress As BJP’s B Team
“Some people don’t learn even if they see or experience something. They are not normal people. They are a rare phenomenon. That is something that happens to those who are normally incapable of grasping things. Rahul Gandhi falls into that category,” the CM alleged.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan slammed the Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing them of being the “B-team of BJP”. Vijayan made the accusation during an interview with PTI videos.
In response to a query regarding Rahul’s recent remark that central agencies have arrested or called for questioning other opposition leaders in the country, except the Kerala CM, the Marxist veteran accused the Congress leader and his party of acting as the “B-team” of the BJP.
“Some people don’t learn even if they see or experience something. They are not normal people. They are a rare phenomenon. That is something that happens to those who are normally incapable of grasping things. Rahul Gandhi falls into that category,” the CM alleged.
He said that Rahul had made serious allegations against former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, but the court rejected all those accusations and gave the AAP leader a clean chit.
“It was a heavy blow to the face of the Congress leadership, including Rahul Gandhi. Despite that, it is pathetic that he is repeating the same thing. That is why I said they do not learn from what they have seen and experienced.
“What we can see if we examine the national-level affairs is that the Congress led by Rahul Gandhi has become the actual B-team of the BJP. But, I’m not going into its details now,” Vijayan said.
He claimed that the Congress-BJP alliance has been seen in the state many times in the past, but it was not yet clear how things would turn out in the upcoming polls.
He said that both parties oppose the LDF in the same way, and they appeared to be getting along very well.
“The Congress and UDF have become a faction that has no hesitation in allying with the BJP,” the CM said.
Accusations of Appeasement Politics
He also accused the Congress of appeasement politics and seeking the support of groups engaged in majority and minority communalism.
The CPI(M)-led LDF is against any form of communalism and does not seek the support of any group engaged in communal activities, the CM said.
