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.

New Delhi:
Mamata Banerjee s Trinamool Congress today won a landslide victory in Bengal. The Chief Minister, however, lost to BJP s Suvendu Adhikari in Nandigram. I accept the verdict in Nandigram - it is not a big deal. Don t worry, she said.
Khela hobe did happen, and we did win. The BJP kept going on and on about double-engine
sarkar, while I assured you all that I will score a double century. This is Bangla s win. this is Bengal s win. this is your win. This win has saved Bengal, it has saved the culture and tradition of Bengal, said Ms Banerjee who ran a bitter, no holds barred campaign against the BJP over two months as Covid cases surged in India.
