THRISSUR: Actor and BJP leader and former MP Suresh Gopi said the leaders will decide from which constituency he should contest for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The leaders will decide on whether he should contest from Thrissur, Thiruvananthapuram or Kannur. The actor said the list of candidates has not been released yet. Suresh Gopi told the media that the advice given by Mammootty regarding the elections has also reached the leaders.

‘The list of candidates has not been released yet. The posters seen on the back of the autos were public pulse. I am neither sad nor happy about it. There is no violation of discipline. That is their right and they do it. If try to stop them, more people will do it.'

‘Leaders should decide whether I should contest or not. The leaders will take a decision on whether I should contest in Thrissur, Kannur or Thiruvananthapuram. If they decide not to field me, I will do so. Mammooka's advice is also there. I mentioned it the other day, I'm not one to hide anything. Whether Mammookka likes it or not,' said Suresh Gopi.

Meantime, Suresh Gopi had revealed the advice he received from Mammootty the other day. The revelation was during the promotion of his new film 'Garudan'. Suresh Gopi said that Mammootty asked him not to contest polls.

'If won elections, then will not be able to live. When you were Rajya Sabha MP, there were no issues as there was no liability. Should do only if you can. However, if won elections, people will spin you. His reply was that he enjoys it. Then he said do what you like,’ said Suresh Gopi.
