THRISSUR: Rajya Sabha MP and BJP candidate from Thrissur Suresh Gopi has said that even though Padmaja Venugopal is his opposite candidate, there will be no change in their relations. “If it is necessary one should contest even against one’s own father,” he said.

“If the nation is more important than politics and if a contest is essential, one should contest against own father,” Gopi said. “I joined an organization disliked by my sister Padmaja. But, that’s my personal decision. I joined them to further strengthen their ideology and now I am fighting for them in this constituency. Relations will never change, it will stay forever,” Gopi added.

Suresh Gopi has lashed out at the government over the Sabarimala issue. He said in the last five years people were assaulted for their faith, therefore the people should give a chance to BJP. The actor also added that if somebody comes to dismantle our faith then he/she should be dealt with fiercely.
