Prime Minister Narendra Modi will reach Kerala in the last week of this month for reviewing parliamentary election-related arrangements, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State president K. Surendran has said.
Speaking to reporters at Thodupuzha in Idukki on Wednesday, the BJP leader said that the BJP hoped that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi would not contest from the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency in the upcoming election. “If Mr. Gandhi contests in Wayanad, the BJP is likely to field candidates in the Wayanad seat. The BJP is planning to take over the seat and will field a strong candidate to oppose Mr. Gandhi,” said Mr. Surendran.
