CHERTHALA: If BDJS leader Thushar Vellappally contests, I will not campaign for him, said SNDP Yogam general secretary Vellappally Natesan. Anyway, he has not told me about contesting polls. None of the SNDP yogam office-bearers should contest polls. Those contesting should resign their membership, he told media in Kanichukulangara.

Vellappally said Adoor Prakash contesting in Alappuzha is suicidal. He is brought in to get defeated. He should understand that. I’ll not help him if he contests. Aarif is popular and his victory is sure. His votes need not be counted. If Aaif does not win, I’ll tonsure my head and go to Kasi. If K C Venugopal is fielded here, he will be defeated. He withdrew from the fray as he was sure to get defeated.

He said, ‘I’ll not campaign for anybody. Shashi Tharoor has minus points in the capital city. He completely ignored the constituency. Higher caste groups will support Tharoor as he is well-educated. Kummanam Rajashekharan and C Divakaran have a place in the hearts of the people. The results in the capital city is unpredictable, he said.
