Thiruvananthapuram : Setting the agenda for the 2016 Assembly polls, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Kerala on Saturday launched a scathing attack on ruling Congress-led UDF and CPI(M)-headed LDF Opposition as it looked to capture power in the state.
“During earlier polls, the party used to say that it’s aim is to open an account. But this time we are contesting for coming to power by securing 70 plus seats,” newly-appointed BJP state President Kummanam Rajasekharan said at a meet-the-press programme here. There is political space for BJP in Kerala and it was evident from the good performances in the recent civic polls, he said. Rajasekharan also indicated that BJP would have a tie-up with Bharat Dharma Jana Sena, a new party formed by Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana Yogam, an outfit of backward Ezhava community, led by general secretary Vellapally Natesan, reports PTI. “Discussions would be held to form a third force in the coming days,” he said and added that people have realised the “unethical” politics practised by both UDF and LDF.
