Rahul behaved like a 'joker' in state, says Pinarayi

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Rahul Gandhi behaved like a joker during his visit to the State on Monday and such a person is being projected as the prime ministerial candidate by the Congress, said CPM state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan on Tuesday.

Pinarayi said, "His candidature as the Congress's PM candidate is more or less finalised and yesterday (Monday) by travelling atop a police jeep on his state visit, he behaved like a joker

When newsmen asked why his act couldn’t be seen as humility on his part, Pinarayi shot back saying: "He is one person who is given the highest security and in the melee, Minister of State for Labour Kodikunnil Suresh got injured."

"He behaved like a person of unsound mind and the action should be taken against him for travelling atop a police jeep," he said.

However, Chief Whip P C George said that he was impressed by Rahul Gandhi's behaviour.

"He belongs to the Nehru-Gandhi clan and I never thought he could just walk into the hearts of the average common man, like what he did yesterday," George said.

"He has proved that his heart is there and he was able to connect with the man on the street," George said, adding that Gandhi's visit has given a great impetus to the youth in the state.
