Ahead of the Assembly polls in Kerala, while addressing during 'Vijaya Yathra' in Kochi on February 28, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said, "Everyone knows Kerala is God's own country.
But whatever is happening here is cause for severe concern.
There is no law and order.
I can go on elaborating things that are going against law and order of a peaceful, beautiful state like Kerala." "I ask Chief Minister that is this God's own country or is this CPI (M) violent culture, also spread in West Bengal.
You are doing it here for several years.
I am afraid to say that God's own country is now gradually becoming Fundamentalists' own country and government isn't worried," she added.
