BJP state president K Surendran criticized K Muralidharan. K Surendran said that K Muralidharan is a Shikhandi who is coming to defeat. Muralidharan was not even ready to deny the anti-social elements in the Congress who criticized his own mother. K Surendran also alleged that Murali has come by buying pickles to defeat the Left Front. K Surendran's note: 'There is no need for a big philosophical review. K. C. Venugopal wants Alappuzha. Sudhakaran also wants Kannur. The decision was to give Alappuzha or Kannur to a Muslim candidate. Then the only thing left to give to the lone Muslim candidate is Vadakara. Only Muralidharan can be hit. Muralidharan lost in Thrissur Lok Sabha and Vadakancherry Assembly by few votes. He came like Nemat Mala and got only few votes. Muralidharan is just a puppet to be manipulated by the Congress masters. An inflated balloon. If he wants to win any elections, Muralidharan will have to change his party once again.
At the same time, K Muraleedharan received a grand reception in the soil of Thrissur after the change in candidature. K Muralidharan, who was going to contest in Vadakara, was decided by the party to contest in Thrissur after the entry of Padmaja Venugopal to the BJP. The party has decided to bring Muralidharan to Thrissur after Padmaja joined the BJP and secured a seat in Chalakudy.
