BJP leader dared to publish `letter'

Staff Reporter

PALAKKAD: The former Palakkad municipal chairpersons M.S. Gopalakrishnan and P.A. Remani Bhai have challenged BJP district president N. Shivarajan to publish the letters they had allegedly written to the BJP seeking its support to become civic chiefs in 1991 and 2003 respectively. They have described the statement of Mr. Shivarajan [issued on Wednesday] as political gimmick. Mr. Gopalakrishnan [CPI-M] told The Hindu here on Thursday that neither he nor his party had written any such letter to the BJP. ``I was elected to the post when there was a division in the Congress and a section of them voted for me against the official Congress candidate Dominic Presentation,'' he said.

He said the BJP State leadership should scientifically prove the authenticity of the letter before they released it. ``We are not fools to write to the BJP district president seeking his support,'' he said.The police inquiry has not reached anywhere so far due to political interference.
