Left govt disrespecting all aspects of Kerala's culture: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sunday again raked up the Sabarimala temple issue and said the communist government in the state has been disrespecting all aspects of Kerala's culture.

He also lambasted both the congress and Communists for having no regard for women's empowerment, best exemplified by their opposition to the NDA government's efforts to end triple talaq.

"Let me tell you, neither Congress nor the communists have any concern for women's empowerment.If they did,they would not have opposed the NDA government's effort to end triple talaq.

India has had many women Chief Ministers, but is there any communist chief minister?," he asked.

On the Sabarimala issue, Modi alleged that the cultural ethos of the state was under attack from the Communist government.

"Unfortunately today, the cultural ethos of Kerala is under attack.

And this attack is being made by the party governing the state. The issue of the Sabarimala temple caught the attention of the entire nation.

"The people of India are seeing the manner in which the communist government of Kerala are disrespecting all aspects of Kerala's culture.

I fail to understand why the commmunists are undermining our culture and civilisation which has stood the test of time.

The UDF too is just like the Communists," Modi said.

The Prime Minister also charged the opposition with being 'politically banckrupt.'
