Nadiad candidate against Rahul Gandhi, Tusshar Velappalli
BJP President Amit Shah has been chosen by Tushar Velappalli of Bharat Dharm Jan Sena to fight Rahul Gandhi.

Speaking to the BBC, he said that the voters of Wayanad will vote for political issues, like other areas of Kerala, not on caste or community basis.

He said, "We will get Muslim votes, get Christian votes and get votes of other castes." Kerala's people do not vote on casteism, they will vote keeping in mind the political issue. "

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has accused Rahul Gandhi that he is fleeing Wayanad because there is less number of Hindu voters. When Tushar Vellappalli has a different view from Modi.

Tusshar is a different point of view of the whole issue. He said, "Now the issue is in Wayanad and India's development. Everyone has 100 per cent confidence that the Prime Minister will be re-elected. Rahul Gandhi will be the Leader of the Opposition."

"People want to vote for Modi instead of Opposition."

Tusshar is the chairman of BDGS, which was started by his father Nateson Velappalli. He was considered a powerful leader of the society of 'Azana', Narayana Dharm Paripal Yogam. The party started in the twentieth century by social reformer Shri Narayana Guru.

50-year-old Tusshar is the convenor of the National Democratic Alliance. They believe, "People will vote for me because people of Kerala do not like to come from outside and contest elections."

But was Rahul invited to fight in Kerala through his own party colleagues?

Tusshar says, "No, he is the chairman of his party, so he asked his workers to suggest his name to Yanad, and he is also fighting with Amethi, so that's why he came here."

Tushar was going to contest from Thrissur seat, but Amit Shah asked him to fight with Wayanad, because the NDA had to stand up to a powerful leader against Rahul Gandhi.



In the past, both father and son have shown an odds on the same issue. His father runs some educational institutes. As well as working on the liquor contract from Alcohol Refinery business. They are believed to be close to the state government.

On condition of anonymity, a senior journalist said, "He is a true businessman. If the Congress comes to power or the Democratic Left Front of CPM, they will take away their work."

A 620 kilometer long human chain formed by women on Sabarimala issue was organized by LDF. In which Nates took part. When the son Tusshar was away from him.

So will his father support his candidacy?

Tusshar, who has a different business perspective from his father, says, "He supports me, he is my father, Sabrimala is not a political issue."

"He participated in the human chain because the government told him. Many Hindus including OBC joined it."

Though Tusshar is expressing his hopes for victory, both his opponents, The Communist Party of India and the Congress, deny these possibilities, saying that Tusshar is not in the competition.


Talking to the BBC, Kerala CPI Assistant Secretary Prakash Babu said, "LDF and UDF are the enemies of each other in Kerala. Elections are a fight based on political issues, but they also carry religious groups, we can not ignore them."

CPI repeats Yanad seat again P. Sunyer, who was defeated by the Congress with 20,870 votes in the last elections.

Talking to Tushar, AICC secretary PC Vishu Naidu has agreed that Kerala's election is a battle on political issues. "It is not like the northern India here. They do not say the leaders here, but the BJP is afraid."

Vishu Nadu believes, "If the BJP had any faith in fighting against Rahul Gandhi, he would have fielded any BJP candidate. He is not fighting this election with the target of lotus, in Wayanad, Rahul will become a pro-election in favor of Gandhi.
