Palakkad:
Launching his campaign, BJP candidate in Palakkad Metro Man E Sreedharan on Monday said the party is fighting the elections on the plank of development and reasserted his claim that the NDA will form the government in Kerala after the April 6 Assembly polls.
He attacked the state s ruling LDF, alleging that it was a government hit by corruption, scandals and nepotism. The (CPI(M)-led) government was not keen on the development of the state. Its main focus was upliftment of the party, said the 88-year old technocrat, a day after his name was officially declared as the BJP s candidate for Palakkad Assembly constituency.
E Sreedharan, popularly known as the 'Metro Man', is all set to begin his political innings as a BJP leader in Kerala. Ahead of his first formal induction into the party, Sreedharan told India Today TV that he would want to be the chief minister of Kerala.
