MALAPPURAM: The BJP will win with a big margin in Palakkad, said Metro Man E Sreedharan and NDA candidate. Talking to the media after casting his vote along with his wife, he said the BJP will have an impressive show this time. There’s no doubt about it. My entry into the BJP has given a different image to the party, His vote was in Ponnani constituency and after voting, he left for Palakkad.

Sreedharan said he was confident of winning by a big margin from the Palakkad assembly constituency. Sreedharan known as Metro Man for being the brain behind Delhi Metro, as well as the Konkan Railways--who joined the party in February, is among the high-profile candidates in the fray in the assembly elections in Kerala.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi showered praise on the Metro Man, saying that Sreedharan has achieved so much in life, and done so much work at a rally in Palakkad on March 30. A man, who is loved by so many people, has devoted himself to Kerala. He knew he would be attacked but stayed firm on his commitment for Kerala, Modi said.
