BJP holds talks with Gowri Amma

Cherthala: BJP Alappuzha district president K. Soman held talks with JSS leader K R Gowri Amma at her residence in Cherthala on Friday.

Slamming the CPI(M), which snubbed her by denying seats to her party to contest in the May 16 assembly polls, Gowri Amma on Wednesday had alleged that she had been "deceived" by the Marxist party.

"CPI(M) had invited us and then deceived us by denying seats. They have cheated us," she said.

Gowri further said, "It is like waking up a sleeping person and telling him that there was no food."

JSS had sought four seats -- Aroor, Chertala, Karunagapally and Kayamkulam -- from the LDF, which was turned down by the left front.
