Big Setback For Congress In Wayanad After District Gen Secy PM Sudhakaran Joins BJP

New Delhi: Yet another setback for the Congress party in Kerala's Wayand amid the ongoing Lok Sabha Elections, Wayand district committee general secretary PM Sudhakaran regained from the Congress party and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday.

After joining BJP, Former general secretary PM Sudhakaran raised the question on Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi, "How can such a politician be accessible to the common man?" He said that Rahul Gandhi was "not even accessible" to him.
Praising the work and vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Sudhakaran said he wants Kerala BJP chief K Surendran to gain a victory from the Wayanad parliamentary constituency. 

"BJP is a party that has more relevance in today's society. For the development projects of PM Modi to be implemented, K Surendran should be elected as the MP from Wayanad and I will strive towards that. If the people of Wayanad elect state president of BJP, K Surendran, the people of Wayanad are going to benefit from it," Sudhakaran said.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is going to contest against CPI's Annie Raja and BJP's state president K Surendran.

Kerala is going to polls on April 26 in the second phase of Lok Sabha polls for all its 20 constituencies.
