Mukundan may have a glorious past but he dont have any connection with new BJP workers ,loyalists he belongs to era of bjp with 5% votes ...so Not worried about him cutting BJP votes ,If a three cornered fight happens Congress votes wont go to CPM (which happened last time when JDU contested) thats enough to ensure BJP victory ...Nair-Nadar communities have various diffrences So if VSDP supports him good chance of loosing Nair votes there is an old saying "nairude karachil Nadarku sangeetham pole annu"
Last LS poll LFD gave tickets to Majority of seats to x'ians in central and trvancore region out of 12 seats they gave 8 to christians and only three won ( Bennet abraham (TVM) ,MA Baby.peelipose thomas ,mathew t thomas ,Joyce george,Christy fernadez ,innocent ,pk biju (he converted to Hinduism ) ) LDF gave 4 seats to hindus and three of them won (sampath,rajesh,jayadevan),They are going to repeat the same ,it will help BJP to point both fronts are appeasing minorities and BjP is the only alternative for Hindus
