On March 26, the Congress Party accused the ruling CPI(M) in Kerala, led by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, of exploiting the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) for electoral benefits, aiming to distance Muslim voters from Congress by falsely claiming the party did not oppose the CAA. Vijayan's public rallies against the CAA have highlighted the law's divisive impact on Kerala's minority communities, criticizing the CAA as unconstitutional and against democratic principles.
