Click here   Political observers say that AP Abdullakutty’s latest move to embrace the Sangh Parivar is based on careful calculations: the upcoming by-election to the Manjeswaram assembly constituency in Kasaragod. In 2016, the Indian Union Muslim League’s P B Abdul Razak scraped through, defeating BJP’s K Surendran by 89 votes. After Razak’s death, the constituency which has a huge Muslim population as well as several Sangh Parivar strongholds, is up for grabs. Abdullakutty may have been able to convince Modi and Amit Shah that a practising Muslim like him, who performed pre-Haj umra in Mecca soon after returning from Vaitheeswaran Koil, could bridge the divide between hardcore believers among both Hindus and Muslims.
