“This silence speaks volumes. It shows that it was under his initiative that the voter list was manipulated in Thrissur. Earlier, he would rush to comment on every issue. But now, even with such a grave matter at hand, he remains mute,” Mr. Viswam said.
According to him, the voter list, which he described as “the Bible, Quran, and Gita of the election process” has been desecrated. “From Maharashtra to Karnataka to Thrissur, the story is the same. Thrissur has now been turned into another venue for the murder of democracy,” he charged.
