Rajeev Chandrashekhar

Thiruvananthapuram | Kerala BJP president Rajeev Chandrashekhar on Sunday criticised the state government for ordering a probe into students singing an RSS song during the inauguration of a new Vande Bharat train, calling it a politically motivated move by a “cornered communist government.”
Reacting sharply to the controversy, Chandrashekhar said the issue was being deliberately inflated to divert public attention from the Left government’s corruption and administrative failures. “It is a manufactured controversy by a communist government that is under siege because of corruption and misgovernance,” he said.
The BJP leader defended the students, saying that the act of singing a patriotic song should not have become the subject of a government inquiry. “They chose to turn a patriotic song sung by a group of children into a controversy. Have they forgotten Article 19, which allows us to sing any song we want?” Chandrashekhar remarked.
