ALAPPUZHA: BJP state president Kummanam Rajasekharan has alleged that the Governor’s address in the last session of the 13th Kerala Assembly on Friday was the UDF’s election manifesto for the ensuing polls.
Mr Kummanam, who reached here leading his Vimochana Yatra, said, “the UDF government has used Governor P. Sathasivam for presenting its election manifesto and making political gains. The address did not contain anything to bring hope to the people and was an eyewash,’’ he said.
When asked about his stand on Aranmula airport project, he said that it was a closed chapter. He alleged that the UDF government was sabotaging the union government’s schemes for the welfare of the people.
Both the LDF and the UDF were jointly derailing a fair investigation into the P. Krishna PIllai memorial attack case, he said.
He also called on SNDP Yogam general secretary Vellappally Natesan at his residence in the morning and discussed the alliance between the BJP and the BDJS in the coming polls.
Mr Kummanam said that more discussions will be held after February 15 when the Yathra and the membership campaign of BDJS will conclude.
Mr Vellappally said that the BDJS was keeping its doors open for all political parties. “However, politicians like Pinarayi Vijayan are searching for new issues to criticise our party. Now we are adding at least 15,000 members to the party in each Assembly constituency, ‘’ he said.
