BJP to contest 115 of 140 seats in Kerala; Metro Man E Sreedharan to contest from Palakkad

BJP on Sunday released a list of 112 candidates for the upcoming Kerala Assembly elections, fielding state party chief K Surendran from two constituencies (Manjeshwar and Konni) while Metroman’ E Sreedharan will contest from Palakkad where the party feels it has the advantage of the Sabarimala issue over the entry of women to the temple.

Actor-turned Rajya Sabha MP Suresh Gopi will contest from Thrissur in central Kerala. He had contested the 2019 Lok Sabha polls from Thrissur and had lost.
