Thrissur/Malappuram: CPI leader Panniyan Raveendran on Monday said the LDF was sure about winning 86 seats. SNDP Yogam leader Vellappally Nateshan has aligned with the BJP. Ezhava community has seen their progress due to the reservation system.So, SNDPY that represents Ezhava community, must not tie up with BJP that is against reservation.
He criticized him for his comment against ES Bijimol.The seat, on which once Kumaranasan sat, is now occupied by Nateshan. This is not decent. Nateshan is saying all just because BJP is offering his copter to roam about.

Tarigami

CPM national committee member Muhammad Yusuf Tarigami said BJP is approaching a destination where they have no place to sport with communal divisions. He is spending his more times in the Muslim-dominated areas such as Kattangal, Chaliyam, and Puthiyakadavu to 'expose the designs of the BJP' . BJP is campaigning against 'ghar wapsi' and 'love jihad' instead of the draught, unemployment, and farmers' suicides. They were against the idea of a nation based on religion or language. So, they did not hear the call of Muhammad Ali Jinnah. They remain in India.
