Allegations of vote trading between BJP and UDF
The drop in Bharatiya Janata Party’s vote share in Thripunithura constituency by over 6,000 votes from the previous election has triggered a political controversy in the wake of the United Democratic Front’s victory by a thin margin.
While BJP candidate Thuravur Vishwambaran garnered 29,843 votes in 2016, it dropped by 6,087 votes to 23,756 this time despite the party fielding a reputed academic like K.S. Radhakrishnan. Mr. Radhakrishnan had predicted 60,000 votes and victory, but ended up far from it.
