MALAPPURAM: LDF candidate PV Anvar MLA on Tuesday said that there is a secret understanding between the UDF and the BJP in Nilambur. He said that the only goal of the UDF is to win the elections by teaming up with communal parties. While claiming that the Left was at the forefront to fight against communal fascism, Anwar added that even Rahul Gandhi will be soon forced to praise the LDF for its policies.

"Congress will do anything to defeat me. As a part of this, they have come to a secret understanding with the BJP in Nilambur. The LDF does not need the votes of BJP-RSS organizations and other communal parties. Can UDF candidate VV Prakash say no to communal votes?" Anvar said.

"Continuance of LDF rule in the state is assured. I am confident that I will win in Nilambur. The people are very much aware of the development work carried out in the constituency during the last five years under my leadership," he added. Anvar also said that the UDF candidate's declaration that the government had not carried out development work in Nilambur was proof that he did not know many parts of the constituency.
