PALAKKAD: The BJP is confident of assuming power in Kerala this time, said Metro Man E Sreedharan. The LDF will not retain power. There was only corruption and nepotism in the state in the last five years, he told media while reaching at Palakkad BJP district committee office for discussions on election work.

There is no point in shedding tears after everything happened in Sabarimala. Is their present act on the issue real? They had hurt the feelings of many then. They deliberately permitted women to enter Sabarimala. He said this while replying to a question on Kadakampally Surendran’s regret on the issue.

The Metro Man had earlier said that he would make Palakkad the best city in the state within two years. He said that he studied and lived in Palakkad. He said that his hope is on the youths in Palakkad. My age will be an experience. My campaign will be on development and not controversies, he said.
