BJP bats for Sreedharan as its CM candidate in Kerala

BJP in Kerala on Thursday said it has requested the party’s national leadership to declare “Metroman” E Sreedharan (pictured), who recently joined the party, as the NDA’S chief ministerial candidate in Kerala in the coming Assembly polls. If the NDA, "under the leadership of "Metroman", gets an opportunity to rule the state, “we are confident we will be able to implement development works under Prime Minister Narendra Modi with a ten-fold force in Kerala,” state unit president K Surendran said.

Addressing a party meeting, he highlighted the achievements of Sreedharan, including the completion of the reconstruction of Palarivattom flyover in five months, much ahead of the stipulated time.
