THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: LDF's Vattiyoorkavu MLA VK Prasanth has said that Sabarimala will not be a topic in the upcoming Assembly polls. In an interview with Kaumudi Online, he said that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had already stated the position on issues related to Sabarimala and that the BJP and the Congress want to cook up controversies.

He said the Congress and the BJP were raising the issue of Sabarimala to cover up the developments of the Left government and to keep the internal issues of both the parties out of the public eye. Our belief is that people will not fall into this. They know when the BJP and the Congress have stood with the believers, the MLA said.

'People are convinced of this. They understand very well why they are looking for a golden opportunity. The people who understand the reality are with the LDF. The LDF continues to protect the interests of both believers and non-believers. There are believers in our party too,' the MLA said.
