Firstpost  

On why he voted for CPM’s candidate, BJP MLA said, “It’s my personal vote for Sreeramakrishnan who is a good public worker and also a friend of mine.” Thiruvananthapuram: CPM’s P Sreeramakrishnan was elected as the Speaker of the 14th Kerala Assembly on Friday. Justifying his decision to favour the LDF candidate, the BJP leader said one of the reasons was that UDF had openly stated that they did not want the BJP MLA’s vote. On why he voted for CPM’s candidate which the saffron party opposed at the state and national level, he said, “It’s my personal vote for Sreeramakrishnan who is a good public worker and also a friend of mine.” To a question, he said the party had not discussed the matter. It shows BJP’s leaning towards LDF,” the former Home Minister said and maintained that Congress-led UDF did not want any cooperation with BJP in the House.
