KANNUR: Suresh Gopi MP responded to CPM leader M V Jayarajan's remark that he would not allow Rajya Sabha member C Sadanandan to shine as an MP. Sadanandan's parliamentary membership has created tension among the Jayarajans of Kannur. This is the first door opened to reach Kannur. I wish that C Sadanandan MP's office will soon turn office of a union minister. I would be happy if Sadanandan replaces me as the union minister, said Suresh Gopi while speaking at the inauguration of the MP’s office in Kannur.

'Suresh Gopi also responded to the campaign against his Kalunk Sabha discussion. Don't try to scare me. I will say what I feel right and will go ahead. Kalunk discussion embodies the truthfulness of democracy. What is wrong with addressing people as ‘praja’? One should first know what ‘praja’ is.

There will be a surgical strike on the kalunk discussion, asserted the other day. It will be beneficial to all those coming for the discussion. The kalunk discussion has the purity of public contact. Political purity and purity of mind were essential for those listening to the discussion and those who talk to them. The opponents are scared as it started happening. That is their anxiety. I will not leave anyone alone. I speak openly about everything. There is an issue in Kerala. The present method is to distort everything,' Suresh Gopi criticised.
