"This happened in the presence of the Police. It`s a clear conspiracy by CPM leadership. For the past five days, ED has questioned him (Rahul Gandhi) after that I don`t know why Kerala the CPI(M) is going in the way of Narendra Modi to attack him. I think Sitaram Yehcury will take necessary action," said Congress leader KC Venugopal reacting to the vandalization of the party office.



"I think CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury will take necessary action," added Venugopal. Meanwhile, Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan condemned the attack on Rahul Gandhi`s office in Wayanad.


CM Vijayan said, "There is freedom for democratic protests and expressing an opinion in our land. But going in the direction of attacks is the wrong tendency. The government will take strong action against the accused."
