Former Devikulam MLA S Rajendran rejected the campaign to join the BJP. A BJP national leader from Tamil Nadu had come to see him. BJP leaders including PK Krishnadas also spoke. But S. Rajendran said that no such decision has been taken at present. The propaganda that BJP held talks with national leaders in Delhi is not true. CPM is not yet ready to lift the suspension. Rajendran warned that if it is not withdrawn, there may be a different decision. This information was conveyed to the CPM state secretary at the AKG center. Rajendran said that there is protest that the decision to withdraw the suspension has not yet been made.
At the same time, some CPM local leaders are behind the boycott. The district leader from Munnar has misled the party leadership. By questioning the anti-party decisions taken by him, he became the apple of their eyes. S. Rajendran stated that some leaders of Munnar had spread the word that he had worked for the opposition candidate to save the guilty party leaders. He added that even if the CPM is kept away, public work will not stop. It is alleged that some leaders of Munnar are behind the action taken by the CPM against Rajendran in matters related to the last assembly elections, even after three years have not been withdrawn.
