THRISSUR: Left Front candidate VS Sunil Kumar in Thrissur has extended his support to CPM Central Committee member and LDF convener EP Jayarajan.

Sunil Kumar also responded to Jayarajan's meeting with BJP Kerala Prabhari Prakash Javadekar, saying that EP Jayarajan is someone who is close to everyone. Alongside this, Sunil Kumar added that BJP state president K Surendran has visited his house and they are friends.

Jayarajan revealed yesterday, upon reaching the polling booth, that he had a meeting with Prakash Javadekar in the presence of Dallal Nandakumar. It was disclosed that the meeting took place at his son's flat in Akkulam, Thiruvananthapuram. The argument put forward was that the meeting was personal.

However, with this disclosure, allegations that EP is aligning with the BJP and targeting governorship and union ministerial posts have gained traction. The UDF's claim of a CPM-BJP nexus has also been reinforced. This unexpected development poses a significant challenge to the party and the LDF. There are reports indicating that action will be taken against EP to salvage the situation.
