BJP candidate Anoop Anthony from Thiruvalla told NDTV that the Congress misled the country on the FCRA bill and alleged that the party was indulging in communal politics while depending on Jamaat support for votes. He said the BJP, on the other hand, is reaching out to all communities including minorities. Anthony also said people in Kerala are tired of both the LDF and the UDF and are looking for an alternative, expressing confidence that the BJP will win a good number of seats in the state. He further accused the Congress of trying to spread unrest during the CAA protests.
