THRISSUR: BJP state in-charge CP Radhakrishnan said that the party is fighting for capturing power in Kerala. If the BJP could oust the CPI(M) from power in Tripura, the same would happen in Kerala too, he said.

Referring to the stand of the state government on Sabarimala women's entry issue, Radhakrishnan alleged that the CPI(M) was trying to destroy the culture and the customs of the state. He said that the BJP was not only aiming to increase the number of seats in Kerala but also looking forward to winning more than 70 seats. CP Radhakrishnan was inaugurating the party's state committee held in Thrissur.
