Palakkad
and BJP:-
Palakkad District |
The campaign by Narendra Modi in
Palakkad on 6th May shows the desperation of Bharatiya Janata Party to open an
account in Kerala in this general assembly election to send BJP legislators in
the assembly. Here in Palakkad BJP is reigning a municipality on its own. But
the contest seems to be hard here as the
rivals have nominated heavyweights . MLA and UDF Shafi Parambil, LDF three-time former MP N.N.
Krishnadas have a grassroots level connections to the people of Palakkad.
Though, NDA candidate Sobha Surendran
does not lag behind in this term.
PoMoneModi:-

Somalia in terms of infant deaths. The remark made in Thirubananthapur at a
campaign stage for 2016 general assembly election caused a tremendous debate in
Kerala. Oommen Chandy asked Modi to withdraw his comment. It has caused a storm
in twitter.
Thrissur
Assembly 50-50 for All:-
Padmaja Venugopal (Congress), V S
Sunilkumar (CPI) and B Gopalakrishnan (BJP) are three contestants who will
engage in a tough triangular fight from Thrissur assembly. Therambil
Ramakrishnan, the 25 years MLA, has been replaced. Sunil Kumar, the two-term
MLA from Kaipamangalam, is contesting from this seat. The continuous rising of
votes from 8000 in assembly election to 14000 in the Loksabha, and 14000 to 25000
in the last local body election has raised hope for the BJP contestant B
Gopalakrishnan.

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.

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.
