Taking a dig at BJP chief Amit Shah for skipping the much-awaited leg of the rally through Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan's hometown in Kannur on Thursday, Karat said, "Shah's absence shows that the yatra is a flop and is not getting any support in Kerala."
Shah had launched the jana raksha yatra in Kannur's Payyanur on Tuesday to create awareness against "red terrorism" and the alleged political killings under the CPM-led government in the state.
