Thiruvananthapuram: The Aishwarya Kerala Yatra led by Opposition Leader Ramesh Chennithala aimed at leading Kerala to wealth and prosperity kick started with a major blunder ahead of the actual election tour.

The full-page advertisement of the election tour published in the Congress mouthpiece Veekshanam on Sunday has invited major trolls on social media.

The top half of the ad features Congress leaders including Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Oommen Chandy and Ramesh Chennithala along with others. The second half features the sponsors. However, the middle part was printed ‘Aadaranjalikal’ which has literal meaning of respectfully and used in situations of death, instead of ‘best wishes (Aasamsakal)’.

Chennithala will take out the Aishwarya Kerala Yatra from Kasargod in the northern part of the state to the capital Thiruvananthapuram which will conclude on February 26 after covering 140 Assembly constituencies of the state.

The tour will highlight the Left Democratic Front’s corruption and criminality and divisive politics of Bharatiya Janata Party.
