Amidst the ongoing uncertainty regarding his candidature in Kottayam, Bharath Dharma Jana Sena (BDJS) president Thushar Vellappally has now presented a condition to the Bharatiya Janata Party for his candidacy in the central Travancore seat.
Speaking to reporters after offering prayers at the tomb of former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy in Puthuppally, Mr. Vellappally said he had requested the BJP national leadership to either set a minimum price of ₹250 per kilogram for natural rubber or increase import prices of the commodity to ensure stability in the market.
