“The test positivity ratio which should be around 5% today in Kerala stands at 14.56%. Both Vijayan and Shailaja have been blaming the Congress-led UDF for the spread, as we were protesting. But the fact of the matter is, Shailaja in August had predicted that Kerala will see daily cases spike to 10,000. When she said that Kerala never had protests of the Congress. And today as predicted by her, the cases have spiked like never before and they are blaming us for it,”
