KANNUR: LDF convener and CPM leader EP Jayarajan has dismissed Sobha Surendran's allegation that he had contacted her through his son's phone. EP Jayarajan, who accused Sobha Surendran of lying, said that he had not held any talks with the BJP. He also said that he had not contacted Sobha Surendran over the phone.

EP Jayarajan's son Jijith Raj had also come out denying Sobha Surendran's allegation. "While attending a marriage function in Ernakulam, Sobha Surendran came to me and met me. She was the one who asked me for my phone number. Later, she called me one or two times. However, I did not attend the calls. She is unnecessarily dragging me into controversies," Jijith Raj said.

Earlier, Sobha Surendran had alleged that EP Jayarajan had held talks to come to the BJP. She also produced evidence in this regard.

"90 per cent 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 me through his son's number," Sobha Surendran.
