Actor Kasturi Shankar is known for her fierce takes. This time around, she has taken on Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who was first criticised for dropping Shailaja Teacher, who did a fantastic job of controlling diseases from his cabinet, and later, held a swearing-in ceremony that seated 500 today even as the state is battling the pandemic.
She took to Twitter and in a series of tweets, wrote -
A sitting CM lavishly celebrates keeping his job in front of 500+ guests (plus police,staff etc etc). When the common man cannot even mourn his dead with more than 20 people.#Communism "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." #Hypocrisy
"All safety protocols followed , tests done, distance maintained,"- Certainly. On whose money? Will a private wedding or religious event be allowed in kerala at this time if they follow the same standards? How many vaccines cud be bought with the oath taking budget?
Not many others can be accused of such double standards as those who reserve their outrage for kumbh or central vista while having no qualms about election rallies & lavish political tamashas. Sad to see Pinarayi becoming the poster child of all that is wrong with the left.
And finally concluded her tweets with - NOTE- Pic in thread is for representational purposes only. It is not a picture of today's oath taking ceremony, which is yet to begin. (sic)

We sure must say that Kasturi is a bold lady who doesn't mind calling a spade a spade.
