THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: BJP will face a backlash if they make Sabarimala issue a tool in the election campaign, said Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.

“Sabarimala is not the main topic of discussion in the state. There is a split within the BJP for making Sabarimala the main topic of their campaign”, Vijayan said.

“NSS’ equal warmth policy can be welcomed. Keeping apart all the quarrels between the NSS and the CPM before, now there are no such problems”, Pinarayi Vijayan added.
