BJP 'irrelevant' in Kerala, failed to deliver promises: Cong leader Muraleedharan

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: (Mar 30) Congress leader K Muraleedharan, contesting from Vattiyoorkavu for April 9 Assembly polls, on Monday said the BJP has become "irrelevant" in Kerala, alleging that the party has failed to fulfil its promises in the state.

Responding to reporters on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Palakkad for an election rally, Muraleedharan said people in Kerala do not take the BJP at face value.

"The BJP claims that what is unchanged here will change. An MP from the party was elected and even inducted into the Union Cabinet. Has a Metro rail come to Thrissur? Why has the long-pending demand for an AIIMS not been granted," he asked.
