BJP denies secret pact with Congress

By Our Staff Reporter

PATHANAMTHITTA, MARCH 29. The former BJP State president C.K. Padmanabhan has admitted that his party had failed to get the votes of its sympathisers in the last election to the Assembly in 2001.

Addressing a press conference here today. Mr. Pillai said that to his knowledge, no Congress leader had held secret parleys with any of the BJP leaders seeking `support' during the last Assembly election.

When asked whether some Congress leaders had sought help from the RSS, Mr. Pillai said that the RSS chief himself had clarified it in public. However, he made it clear that the Congress leader Vayalar Ravi had never held talks with the BJP leaders. The BJP had got all its political votes in the election to the Assembly, he said.

The BJP leader called upon the Government to postpone the implementation of the controversial Value Added Tax (VAT) system, as it would make life miserable to the common man. The party district president, A.G. Unnikrishnan, was also present.
