NDA Kerala Unit urged MP's and MLA's from the state, ruled by CPI(M) led LDF, to cooperate for the victory of its presidential candidate Ram Nath Kovind forgetting political differences on Monday, June 26.

BJP State President Kummanom Rajasekharan and NDA State Chairman Thushar Vellappally in a joint statement said the coming presidential election was very significant to the country and "all should unite and cooperate for his (Kovind's)win forgetting political differences".

"We expect the MP's and MLA's from the state to play a constructive role by recognising the progressive changes taking place in the country," the leaders said.

They added that it was necessary to strengthen the implementation of the development and welfare projects carried out by the Centre.

Kovind is likely to get only the vote of O Rajagopal, the lone BJP MLA in the state assembly with 140 members.

UDF, which is headed by the Congress, is the main Opposition in the state.

All the 20 MP's in Lok Sabha and 9 Rajya Sabha members are from either LDF or UDF.

Noted film star turned BJP politician Suresh Gopi is the nominated member in Raja Sabha from the state.

M P Veerendra Kumar, UDF partner and JD(U) member in Rajya Sabha, has stated that the party unit in the state would not vote for Kovind.
