K. Muralidharan said that former DGP Loknath Bahra was the mediator in bringing Padmaja to BJP. K. Muralidharan's disclosure was made in Asianet News Point Blank. Behra, who was the Kochi City Police Commissioner when K Karunakaran was the Chief Minister, has a good relationship with the family and Padmada since then. K. Muralidharan also says that Behra, who has good relations with Modi and Pinarayi, pulled the strings for the BJP. Another thing, K. Muralidharan said that the BJP has a grudge against him since he lost the Nemath sitting seat. BJP is trying to settle that account by bringing Padmaja to the camp. But Muralidharan said point blank to Asianet News that if the Padmaja campaign starts, it will be easier for the Congress.
At the same time, MV Jayarajan responded to K Muralidharan's revelation that former DGP Loknath Behra was behind Padmaja Venugopal's entry into the BJP. Jayarajan asked whether Karunakaran's daughter should join the BJP, no matter who intervened. The issue is not whether the individual is involved or not. Can Padmaja go to BJP because someone told her? Jayarajan also asked if Murali would join BJP if someone bigger than Behra told him. There is nothing special about K. Sudhakaran becoming a candidate in Kannur. Jayarajan also alleged that MP was not present in Kannur for five years.
