The ensuing general elections will see Narendra Modi supporters and his opponents battling it out in Kerala to win the popular mandate, BJP leader M.T. Ramesh has said.
Addressing the media here on February 24 (Saturday), Mr. Ramesh said the Indian Union Muslim League was engaged in a negotiation with both the CPI(M) and the Congress on the basis of the “religious votes” that the party had claimed to be in its custody.
The Congress has already accepted the demand of the League for a third seat to contest the Lok Sabha elections. The LDF convener too is in support of the demand. The CPI(M) and the Congress are making all-out efforts to woo minority voters, especially Muslim voters, to win the elections as they have found the development politics put forward by the BJP undefeatable, he said.
