Vijayan slams UP counterpart over Kerala CM’s remark

Thiruvananthapuram: Reacting to UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s statement on Kerala a couple of weeks ago, CM Pinarayi Vijayan said that the remark by his UP counterpart is politically motivated and it is not right to compare a State with other states.

Speaking at the Kerala Assembly, CM Vijayan said, “It is a politically motivated statement by UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. I believe it is not right to compare one state with another.”

While reacting to the CPI-M MLA AN Shamseer queries in the Assembly, the CM said that leaders such as Akhilesh Yadav have said that Kerala and UP cannot be compared.
