ERATTUPETTA: NDA candidate at Pathanamthitta will secure a comfortable win at Pathanamthitta, opined P.C. George MLA. “At Pathanamthitta, my support is for NDA. The decision regarding other constituencies will be taken soon”, George said. K. Surendran, the BJP candidate at Pathanamthitta had visited George’s residence.

“I can’t join hands with Pinarayi Vijayan who allowed women to enter Sabarimala after thrashing the devotees. One option would be to contest as an independent candidate. Another solution would be to become an allied party of the BJP. I haven’t yet spoken with the BJP state leaders on this. They can win at Kottayam and Pathanamthitta with our support. Kummanam will win at Thiruvananthapuram if the Kamaraj party supports the BJP”, George said.

“There are five district Presidents from the Muslim community within the Janapaksham. They are eager to become an allied party of the BJP. We won’t lose any Muslim votes by forming a union with the BJP. The BJP candidate will get more than 75,000 votes from Poonjar and Kanjirappally”, he added.
