Kochi, Sep 1 (UNI) Kerala Finance Minister TM Thomas Isaac, who is also CPI (M) Central Committee member, has termed Lord Maha Vishnu's fifth incarnation 'Vamana' as a 'cheater.'
The Minister's comment on Lord Vamana comes when Kerala has been celebrating annual Onam festival which was a low key affair this time due to COVID pandemic, otherwise used to be observed as a 10-day state festival.
Taking to micro-blogging site Twitter, Isaac said "Happy Onam ! We celebrate Mahabali who did not discriminate by caste or creed, not Vamana who cheated him.This edition of harvest festival has something to celebrate. Kerala has announced floor prices for 14 types of vegetables in its drive for self sufficiency in vegetables."
