Shivakumar, also the Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka, was in the southern state to campaign for party candidates in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
He said that there was no wave in favour of the BJP or the prime minister and it was evident from the fact that the saffron party was not fielding around 100 of its sitting MPs across India in the coming polls.
Shivakumar also took potshots at the BJP’s candidate from Thiruvananthapuram LS constituency, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, by questioning what contribution he had made to Kerala’s development.
