Candidate selection blamed for BJP's fiasco

While senior leaders like V Muraleedharan and Sobha Surendran refused to comment, former state president C K Padmanabhan said the party should probe the reasons for the defeat.

However, Palakkad district committee member Surendran Tharoor, state committee member C V Sajini and national council member N Sivarajan blamed candidate selection for the loss.

The fact that the party has polled fewer votes than the 2016 Assembly election has annoyed leaders.
