KOZHIKODE: BJP spokesperson and Shoranur candidate Sandeep Warrier on Thursday asked why the Left did not give a seat to Shoranur sitting MLA PK Sasi. He also pointed out that Karat Razak and PV Anwar were offered seats by the Left front.

"The CPM has given a seat to Anwar, who had publicly announced that he was going to mine diamonds worth Rs 20,000 crore in Africa. However, my question to CPM workers is that why was PK Sasi, who was found innocent by the party's inquiry commission, denied a seat?," Sandeep Warrier said.

Earlier, it was said that Sandeep Warrier will be contesting from the Thrissur constituency. Later, Suresh Gopi was announced as the candidate in Thrissur while Sandeep was announced as the candidate in Shoranur. Sandeep will contest against CPM's P Mummykutty and UDF's TH Firoz.
