Kerala Assembly Polls: BJP Backtracks On 'Metro Man' E Sreedharan As Its CM Candidate

ABP News  

In what may give fresh ammunition to the opposition to take on the saffron party in the run-up to the Kerala Assembly polls, the Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday did a flip-flop on E. Sreedharan, popularly known as the “Metro Man”, as the party’s chief ministerial face. In an apparent damage control mode, BJP state chief K. Surendran withdrew the announcement just hours after he outrightly stated that Sreedharan would be the party’s chief ministerial face. The Union Minister, who earlier tweeted that the BJP would contest the Kerala Assembly polls with E. Sreedharan as its chief ministerial candidate, said he wanted to inform that through media reports he learned that the party has made this announcement. Earlier on Thursday while addressing the party’s “Vijay Yatra” in Thiruvalla, the Kerala BJP chief had stated that Sreedharan would be the chief minister candidate of the party in the state assembly elections Sources suggest the Kerala BJP chief withdrew his statement as the party top brass had expressed its anger over the announcement.
