THRISSUR (KERALA):  Congress top leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday termed Prime Minister Narendra Modi Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan as “arrogant”, alleging that they have a mindset of ruling over people rather than working with them.

Addressing an election rally at Mala here, Gandhi said the upcoming Assembly polls in Kerala were a fight between the Congress-led UDF and the ruling LDF, which he alleged was being aided by the BJP.

“There is a hidden hand helping the LDF,” he said, claiming that even ruling CPI(M) workers would admit that the government was not functioning as a true Left administration.
