Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national executive committee member P.K. Krishnadas on Monday dismissed the United Democratic Front’s (UDF) bypoll victory in Nilambur as not a triumph for the Congress-led front, but for what he termed a “terrorist organisation”, Jamaat-e-Islami.
“This is not a victory for the UDF. It is a victory for Jamaat-e-Islami. The UDF and the LDF both witnessed a drop in their vote share, while the BJP-led front recorded an increase,” Mr. Krishnadas said at a press conference in Kannur.
He alleged that both the major fronts secured votes based on caste equations and accused them of compromising with extremist elements.
He said the BJP would soon launch a campaign across the State to expose the “terrorist positions” and appeasement politics of both the UDF and LDF.
“We will take the truth to the people,” he said.
