THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: It is reported that actor Vinu Mohan's name has been included in the BJP's list of candidates. The name of the actor has been included in the Kottarakkara constituency. This is being reported by a Malayalam news media. Meanwhile, actor Krishnakumar, who recently joined the BJP, is also planning to contest in Thiruvananthapuram.

If actor and MP Suresh Gopi contests in Thrissur, Krishnakumar will be considered for Thiruvananthapuram. The BJP leadership is trying to persuade Suresh Gopi, who is not keen on contesting. There is also confusion about the Kazhakoottam constituency. A decision may be taken today as to who will be fielded against LDF's Kadakampally Surendran.

Initially, the name of Union Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan was considered in Kazhakoottam, but later there were reports that the BJP central leadership had suggested that Sobha Surendran should contest here. It is learned that BJP will contest in 115 seats in Kerala. BJP national leaders and state party leadership will meet again after the election committee meeting. Candidates will be announced after this.
