THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Even as rumours that actor Mohanlal may contest Lok Sabha poll are spreading fast, the BJP is reported to have started moves to bring the great actor onto its turf.

Though a section in the party had expressed its opinion to give Mohanlal a Lok Sabha seat, the actor is known to have said nay for the time being. But the BJP may aim a Rajya Sabha seat for Mohanlal if the BJP comes to power next time also.

Currently Suresh Gopi MP and former DGP T P Sen Kumar are in the list of Lok Sabha contestants. In Thiruvananthapuram, the names of BJP State president P S Sreedharan Pillai, former Isro-scientist Nambi Narayanan and State General Secretary K Surendran are being heard aloud as probable contestants.

Though there is a strong argument in favour of Mizoram Governor Kummanam Rajasekharan’s candidature, the Centre’s strong intervention may be needed in the matter.

However, the BJP will kick off its election campaign in the State with the arrival of Prime Minister in Kerala on Tuesday.
