KOTTAYAM: BJP leader PC George said that NDA candidate Anil Antony will emerge as the winner in the Pathanamthitta Lok Sabha constituency. He was responding to the media after casting his vote at the polling booth in Thekkekkara Govt Higher Secondary School in Erattupetta.

'In Pathanamthitta, Left candidate Thomas Isaac will get only the third position. Five of the 20 seats in the state are witnessing fierce competition. Anil will get the majority of the Christian votes in Pathanamthitta.' said PC George.

Meanwhile, Anil Antony voted in Thiruvananthapuram this morning. Unlike previous times, he came to vote alone today. During the previous elections, Anil used to come to vote along with his father AK Antony and mother. Speaking to the journalists, Anil said that he came to vote alone today as he had to go to Pathanamthitta immediately. When the journalists asked him if he received blessings from his parents, Anil said that he does not discuss politics at his house.

"I believe that I have the blessings of the people of Kerala, especially Pathanamthitta. The NDA is expecting an excellent result. The entire country is witnessing a pro-Modi wave. That will be reflected in each constituency in Kerala. The NDA will record a historic victory. Yesterday, I returned home after campaigning for 50-55 days. I spoke with everyone very happily. I came early to vote today as I have to go to Pathanamthitta. The rest of my family members will come to vote after 10 am. We do not discuss politics at home. I love and respect both my parents. Many people tried to misinterpret what I said. But everyone knows what I said," Anil said.
