Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national executive committee member P.K. Krishnadas on Monday (June 23, 2025) dismissed the United Democratic Front’s (UDF) victory in Nilambur bypoll as not a triumph for the Congress-led front, but for what he termed a “terrorist organisation”, Jamaat-e-Islami.
“This is not a victory for the UDF. It is a victory for Jamaat-e-Islami. The UDF and the LDF both witnessed a drop in their vote share, while the BJP-led front recorded an increase,” Mr. Krishnadas said at a press conference in Kannur.
