ALAPPUZHA: BJP leader Sobha Surendran said that LDF convener EP Jayarajan had held talks to join the BJP. Speaking at a press conference, Sobha Surendran also produced evidence in this regard.

"90 percent of the negotiations for EP joining the BJP had been completed. Let EP himself tell why he later withdrew from the move. He first contacted us through his son's number," Sobha Surendran.

Sobha also produced a screenshot of the WhatsApp message sent from EP Jayarajan's son's number. The message read, 'Note my number.' She also said that Pinarayi Vijayan knew why EP Jayarajan withdrew from his decision.

"I want EP and his wife to be alive. It was Nandakumar who sent me the ticket for the Delhi discussion with EP Jayarajan," she added. The BJP leader also produced the ticket sent by Nandakumar on WhatsApp.

Sobha asked whether Nandakumar has taken up the role of CPM state secretary. She alleged that Nandakumar was raising baseless allegations against her in order to ensure her defeat in the Lok Sabha election.

"Nandakumar is trying to insult and mock me as a woman. The police should be ready to immediately arrest him. I have lodged a complaint with the DGP against Nandakumar along with evidence in the matter. I will stage a protest in front of the DGP's residence if the police do not take action on the complaint. I would not hesitate even to block the DGP on the way," Sobha said.
