Left Democratic Front (LDF) convenor E.P. Jayarajan on April 26 told reporters in Kannur that he had briefly met Prakash Javadekar, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) Kerala in-charge, at his son’s flat in Thiruvananthapuram.
Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president K. Sudhakaran had stirred up a storm on April 25, accusing Mr. Jayarajan of secretly plotting to defect to the BJP by opening a secret communication channel with the party’s leadership.
The LDF found itself in a spot after BJP leader Sobha Surendran and T.G. Nandakumar, a self-styled power broker, endorsed the accusation.
