‘Metroman’ E Sreedharan, the BJP candidate from Palakkad constituency for the Kerala assembly elections, has assured that he is unruffled by his posters being vandalized by the opposition parties.
The celebrated engineer added that the people of the state believe in his capabilities and mentioned that the other parties are desperate to see Sreedharan fail in the upcoming polls.
The Palakkad assembly constituency is set to see a three-cornered fight as the 88-year-old will come up against incumbent Congress MLA Shafi Parambil and CPI-M candidate CP Pramod.
Pained to see this vandalism but not angry. I want to understand the motivations of the people who did this and understand their concerns. Hate is not a solution. Let's use the effort and energy in a positive direction to build a new Kerala. #BJP4NewKerala pic.twitter.com/Q4qYWIZTCR
