With BJP candidate Suresh Gopi nearly registering his victory in Thrissur with a 72,000 margin, the ‘lotus’ has finally bloomed in Kerala and it remains to be seen if BJP will get a second seat in Thiruvananthapuram.
While Gopi came out at his home here with his wife Radhika and posed for a picture with Radhika giving him a sweet, he did not speak to the media and returned after the clicks. Kerala has 20 LS seats and in the 2019 polls, the Congress-led UDF won 19, CPI-M-led Left won one seat and BJP managed to finish just second in Thiruvananthapuram.
