KOTTAYAM: BJP state president K Surendran said that both fronts are trying to cover up the monthly payment controversy in Puthupally because the leaders of LDF and UDF took the money. Myth controversy will be discussed in Puthupally by-election. Surendran also said that the NDA campaign will focus on the developments implemented by the Narendra Modi government.

'Both fronts are certainly corrupt. This play is meant to cover that up. Issues including price hikes will be raised in Pudupally. The development crisis is a big problem in the constituency. There is no point in softening the stand on the myth controversy'. K Surendran said.

Meanwhile, the campaign is heating up in the Puthupally by-election. UDF candidate Chandy Oommen and NDA candidate Lijin Lal will submit their nomination papers today. LDF candidate Jaick C Thomas submitted his nomination paper last day.
