Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

CPI(M) leader P. Jayarajan has alleged that Sree Krishna Jayanti processions in Kerala are part of an 'RSS political project' to expand the organisation's influence among families in the state.
He made the claim in a podcast series of the CPI(M)'s Kannur district committee.
He argued that only processions for Chathaya Dinam, the birth anniversary of Sree Narayana Guru, were earlier seen on Kerala's streets, and that Sree Krishna Jayanti celebrations were introduced later.
He also noted that faith in Lord Krishna existed in Kerala for a long time but lower castes and even some Nairs were barred from temples until the Temple Entry Proclamation.
