Kochi: The BJP will achieve "notable gains" in the forthcoming Kerala assembly elections and the party would fight them "unitedly", state unit President PS Sreedharan Pillai said on Tuesday.
Addressing a press conference in Kochi, Pillai hoped the "BJP's voice will be there in the legislative assembly this time".
Apparently referring to the differences in opinion among state-level leaders of the party, he said the BJP would "unitedly" face both the ruling United Democratic Front (UDF) and opposition Left Democratic Front (LDF) in the election.
"If the BJP, which got 12.5 per cent vote in the last elections, could add 3 per cent more, we can make good gains in this election", he said.
Alleging that CPI-M was resorting to "appeasement of minorities", he said the reported statement of a politburo member that if VS Achuthanandan was projected as the chief ministerial candidate, minority communities would not accept him (VS), was a clear proof of this.
He alleged that UDF and LDF were "hand-in-glove in scuttling various corruption cases". He demanded that a central agency inquire into this.
BJP will take the issue to the people in the coming assembly election, he said.
