Everytime Kerala overcomes any kind of disaster, the right wing media of the state puts up stories of how the opposition led by Congress stood by the government. What's the actual story? Here are 15 times when the opposition tried to betray Kerala during the #Covid_19 crisis.
When #Covid_19 was just a health crisis health minister KK Shailaja regularly met the press to update them about any kind of developments to avoid any kind of misinformation. The Opposition leader, Ramesh Chennithala called her a media maniac for this. #Congressbetrayskerala
During the pre-lockdown period, opposition MLAs publicly booed at health minister, KK Shailaja with no particular reason. The health minister begged the opposition to not politicise the issue. #Congressbetrayskerala #udfbetrayskerala 
Upon the second arrival of the virus in state, the government started giving out guidelines for social distancing, the opposition leader RC condemned it by saying it will only help in increasing the fear among people and such steps need to be rolled back. #Congressbetrayskerala
While presenting a motion in the assembly, Deputy opposition leader IUML's Dr. MK Muneer said in the assembly that Indians are not prone to #Covid_19 as Indians have a high immunity. Turns out, he was citing an article from an RSS source. #congressbetrayskerala #udfbetrayskerala
Ramesh Chennithala demanded that Kerala adopt USA's mitigation method instead of the current model the assembly and in Facebook. A week later he deleted the Facebook post and asked the state to go into a full lockdown asap. #congressbetrayskerala #udfbetrayskerala
Later he demanded that the state follow Rajasthan's model. We all know how USA's and Rajasthan's handling went. His only interest was in proving #KeralaModel is not the right way and he endorsed all kind of failed models. #congressbetrayskerala #udfbetrayskerala
The finance minister Thomas Isaac announced a 20000 cr relief package. Opposition MLAs VT Balram's and VD Satheeshan's first reaction was to create a misconception about the package instill fear among the public by making baseless claims. #congressbetrayskerala #udfbetrayskerala
Days later when thousands of migrant labourers took to the streets in Payippad, Kottayam upon a misinformation about a train to North India, PC Vishnunath an ex UDF MLA publicly lied that the police used force to disperse the crowd. #congressbetrayskerala #udfbetrayskerala
The same day, Zakir Thuvakad and Thuvakuth Shareef, the current and ex secretaries Edavanna branch of Youth Congress was arrested from Nilambur, Malappuram for spreading false news among the migrant labourers about a train to North India. #congressbetrayskerala #udfbetrayskerala
When the CM held press conference with various representatives fTim different countries to learn what can be done regarding the non resident Keralits, KPCC president Mullappally Ramachandran made derogatory statements about NRKs. #congressbetrayskerala #udfbetrayskerala
When the CM gave a fitting reply to Mullappally Ramachandran, Shahanas Palakkal, one of the state secretaries of Youth Congress made casteist slurs against Pinarayi Vijayan. #congressbetrayskerala #udfbetrayskerala
RC and opposition MLA KS Sabarinathan is now creating ruckus by demanding transparency in a fully disclosed agreement signed between the government and Sprinklr. It's just fearmongering about data security about which the common people know very little of. #congressbetrayskerala
Ramesh Chennithala who called the health minister a media maniac and the termed the CM' press meets as PR gimmicks is now buying prime time slots in every news channels and conducting phone in programs. #Congressbetrayskerala #udfbetrayskerala
KM Shaji, another IUML MLA from the opposition made false claims against the CMDRF and later refuted it. He also admitted that whatever the crisis is, the opposition will continue to politicise it. #udfbetrayskerala #congressbetrayskerala
Upon flattening the curve and partial lifting of lockdown restrictions in some districts the Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan announced that press briefings will be now done every alternate day instead of the daily ones.
After this, among the people who said that they're finally relieved of the 6 pm PR stunts include opposition MLAs VT Balram, KS Shabarinathan, Youth Congress state secretary and MLA Shafi Parambil and Kozhikode DCC President T Siddique. #congressbetrayskerala #udfbetrayskerala
Pinarayi Vijayan once said that he only wishes to stand by the people during this time of crisis and nothing else matters right now. He has stuck to his word. But as KM Shaji revealed, the opposition didn't mind politicising the crisis. #congressbetrayskerala #udfbetrayskerala
So when next time someone tells you made up stories about how Kerala's opposition stood with Kerala's government during the crisis, remember that not only they didn't stand with the government but also constantly tried to push the state to great dangers. #congressbetrayskerala
