PALAKKAD: BJP defector and now Congress leader Sandeep Varier appeared on Saturday to add salt to BJP’s injury in Palakkad by-polls.

Sandeep Varier:

“They insulted me saying Sandeep Varier was a nobody but I kept trust with the people of Palakkad. I thank them for their love. UDF did a spectacular campaign and ripped apart the core base of BJP in Palakkad municipality. K Surendran is responsible for the BJP’s downfall. Unless he resigns, BJP is not going to survive in Kerala. But now, I want him not to resign.

There is no doubt that BJP suffered such a heavy blow only because of Krishnakumar’s candidacy. Be it milk society, municipality, panchayat and even LS polls, only Krishnakumar contests from Palakkad. The leadership too took a myopic view of things and considered Palakkad BJP revolves just around Krishnakumar and his wife.

K. Surendran and his gang should be beaten out of Mararji Bhavan and the place should be sprinkled with cow dung. In the next election, BJP is going to lose power in Palakkad municipality.”
