“Children of several CPM leaders have gone to capitalist countries to pursue higher education, which explains why they are unable to see the pain of the youths coming from economically weaker sections. Isaac should have never come out with such a deplorable statement,” he stated. He additionally took a jibe at Jayarajan who needed to step down from workplace as a consequence of nepotism at first of the federal government’s tenure.

At a reception for his Aishwarya Kerala Yatra in Palakkad, Chennithala stated, “Isaac is obsessed with power. That is why he is being sarcastic about the agitation.” “The statements that those who are agitating are part of a conspiracy and the Opposition is behind it do not befit a Communist minister. What is the difference between PM Narendra Modi and Isaac? The PM had called the farmers protesting on the Delhi border “andolan jeevi” (skilled protester), which is analogous to Isaac’s assertion,” he stated.
