Chennithala alleges nexus by LDF, BJP
The Hindu
Leader of Opposition Ramesh Chennithala has alleged that the Left Democratic Front (LDF) has been trying to pave the way for the BJP to come to power in the State by fielding weak candidates in key constituencies.
Speaking after inaugurating the Assembly constituency convention at Sulthan Bathery on Monday, Mr. Ramesh said that the move also targeted spoiling the prospects of the Congress party. “While the CPI(M) had fielded its senior leader V.S. Achuthanandan in Malampuzha in the 2016 Assembly polls, now the party has not fielded any prominent leader in the segment for the forthcoming polls”, Mr. Chennithala said, adding that the situation in Manjeswaram was no different. “Such a move reveals the nexus between the two parties in the forthcoming polls”, he said.
