I can only perceive Narendra Modi as a theatre actor in politics. The real move on the chess board is played by Amit Shah. He is reaching Nedumbassery Airport at 10.30 am on June 2, in Kerala. He has a busy schedule of attending 17 meetings in Kerala. The recent beef ban is affecting the food rights of Muslims, Dalits, Adivasis, Christians and a large number of Hindu beef consumers in Kerala. The ban is also unconstitutional and imposition of Central Government's power over six states where consumption of beef is legal. This has happened without any consultation with the Kerala Government or any other state government. In the light of the recent violation of food rights of the Keralites. I wonder if SFI, DYFI, AISF, AIYF, AAP, Welfare Party, SUCI, SIO, Solidarity Youth Movement, People's Voice, Dalit organisations, anit-fascist networks and other autonomous secular groups can give him a warm welcome. If it happens, I can say with confidence that I am proud to be a Keralite. Fascism should not be allowed to enter our food plates.
