THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A strong fight is being witnessed in Nemom, said LDF candidate V Sivankutty. NDA was our main opponent in the last two elections. Other than that, no other miracles happened in Nemom. Not saying whether Muraleedharan contesting is a gain or a loss for the LDF. With the arrival of Muraleedharan in Nemom, we will understand how many congressmen are there in the constituency, he said while talking to Kerala Kaumudi Online.

Kummanam addressing Nemom as Gujarat was not in the name of development. He actually meant as BJP has become a dominant party among minorities post riots in Gujarat, the same will happen in Nemom. There has been no development in Nemom for the last five years. Nemom is in the 140th place in development activities, opined Sivankutty.

The people of Nemom have not seen Rajagopal after the last assembly elections. Rajagopal brought invisible central projects in Nemom. Nothing happened except verbal words. The BJP is not going to get any seats in Thiruvananthapuram. The left front will garner all seats. Housewives are with the LDF, claimed Sivankutty.

Sivankutty said central agencies probe will not yield any results. Kummanam should understand that I am not an accused in a fraud case. The police have not registered a case against me for cheating anyone. The case is in the name of protests staged. The incidents that happened in the assembly on the day the budget was presented were under special circumstances. It is not a problem amongst the voters, he said.

Sivankutty said that he neither approves nor rejects surveys. The people like to see all that, let them evaluate. The chief minister has clarified stand on Sabarimala issue. The LDF trying to wrest the constituency has no deal with the BJP. Even if the UDF makes a deal with the BJP, steps are being taken to overcome it, said Sivankutty expressing confidence.
