NEW DELHI: Kerala BJP president Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Sunday hit back at chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan for equating the BJP with the Congress, calling it a “shameless attempt” to attract Muslim voters ahead of the state assembly polls.Chandrasekhar accused both the CPM and the Congress of misleading voters by projecting rivalry in Kerala while aligning in other states.”Don’t you find it amazing comedy that the Congress is accusing the BJP of being the B-team of the CPM, and the CPM is accusing the BJP of being the B-team of the Congress. When they are in a formal alliance, in other states, it is like saying people of Keralam are fools to believe this kind of nonsense,” Chandrasekhar, the BJP candidate from Nemom, told ANI.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Iran vows tit-for-tat strike after Trump’s 48hr ultimatum, threatens to hit US-Israel energy facilityWatch: Missile strike rocks Israel’s ‘Little India’ as Iran attack injures over 40; videos show chaosOver 100 injured in Israel amid Iran’s missile attack; Netanyahu calls it ‘difficult evening in battle for future’   Watch Kerala Assembly Elections 2026: Cong Demands Public Debate on Manifesto, Targets LDF Governance “Just across the border, they are contesting together in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, and they have the gall to mislead the people of Keralam and say that they are not in an alliance with each other,” he added.The BJP leader alleged that both parties were trying to consolidate minority votes by positioning themselves against the BJP.”This is a shameless attempt with only one goal, both Congress and CPM are desperate to get the votes of the Muslim community.

BJP National Spokesperson Tuhin Sinha NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday said former Pakistani diplomat Abdul Basit’s recent remarks against India showed that Pakistan “cannot survive without terrorism.”Basit, former Pakistani envoy to India, said in an interview that in a hypothetical scenario where the US tried to destroy Pakistan’s nuclear capabilities, Islamabad would have to strike Mumbai or New Delhi.Reacting sharply to the remarks, BJP National Spokesperson Tuhin Sinha told IANS, “Abdul Basit’s threat that Delhi and Mumbai will be blown up with bombs from Pakistan shows that even today, Pakistan is rattled by strikes during Operation Sindoor. It has lost its mental balance.”Terming Pakistan a “terrorist state”, Sinha said, “It is a terrorist state and now we don’t even have to say it.

It shows that terrorism is ingrained in their nature. Pakistan can’t survive without terrorism.”Basit had said, “Suppose there is a scenario where the US views our nuclear programme in a negative light or tries to destroy our nuclear capability.It is unlikely, but I am talking about a worst-case scenario. Let’s imagine that the US tries to attack us. Even if the US is not within our nuclear range, what options do we have?”When asked if India would be involved, he replied, “India. We would not have to do anything else. Even if we do not have the range to target the US, we would have to strike India’s Mumbai and New Delhi without thinking. We have no other option, since the US is not within our range, then we would have no choice but to attack India. Then let’s see what happens. We do not want that to happen.”Basit’s comments came amid tensions in the Middle East over Iran’s nuclear programme, following joint US-Israeli strikes on Tehran on 28 February. The attacks triggered a wider conflict in the region, which has now entered its third week. Donald Trump has also warned Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face military action.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
