NEW DELHI: The candidature of BJP general secretary K. Surendran remains undecided. P.S. Sreedharan Pillai stays firm on Pathanamthitta seat as the BJP candidate list is further delayed.
The seat of Kummanam Rajasekharan at Thiruvananthapuram was the only seat without any debates. The leaders want the desired constituencies. Sobha Surendran has said that she is not ready to contest from Attingal. The party general secretary has voiced a similar opinion regarding candidature at Kozhikode.
K. Surendran has asked for either Thrissur or Pathanamthitta. However, Thrissur seat has been set for BDJS. The BJP leaders expect Thushar Vellappally to be the candidate there.
Alphons Kannanthanam also has publicly expressed his likeness for Pathanamthitta seat. The state leaders don’t want to oblige to this.
Krishnakumar is being considered at Palakkad. BDJS might be given Kozhikode instead of Ernakulam. The central election panel meeting on Monday will take the final decision on the candidate list.
